Customers may specify parameters such as the number of channels, fiber spacing, fiber types, face grinding angle and external dimensions of the array. We can apply reflective or anti-reflective coatings to the fiber array endface. We manufacture fiber arrays with minimal fiber placement errors thanks to precisely manufactured v-grooves.
Advantages
- Custom fiber array design
- Available with UHNA, PM and multi-core fibers
- Active fiber alignment to microlens (MLA) option
- Flexible options: Lidless, recessed, and protruding fiber arrays
Applications
- Telecommunications and data centers
- Research applications
- Sensor applications
