Product overviewFiber Array (FA) is an optical component that aligns multiple optical fibers or fiber ribbons on a V-groove substrate to ensure precise core positioning. FA options support multi-channel configurations for high-density optical interconnects with minimized insertion loss.
Key features- Available fiber array angles: 0° / 8° / 41° / 42.5° / 45° (customizable)
- Fiber spacing (pitch): 125 / 250 / 500 / 750 µm; FA pitch options: 127 or 250 µm (channel dependent)
- Pitch accuracy examples: 2CH/3CH/4CH ±0.5 µm; 8CH ±0.7 µm; 16CH ±1.0 µm
- Small die spot sizes (examples): 5.5, 4, 3.3 µm @1310 nm; 4, 3.2 µm @1550 nm
- Insertion Loss (IL) (max): <0.3 dB (typical ≤0.30 dB)
- FA length: 3–5 mm
- Supported fiber types: SMF28e / G657A1(2) / MM / PM
- PER (min) for PM series: small die port >22 dB; non-MFD matched >28 dB
Applications- HDMI / AOC assemblies
- Parallel optical transmission (10G / 40G / 100G / 400G)
