Fiber array

The Polarization-Maintaining (PM) Fiber Array (FA) is an optical device that precisely arranges and fixes PM fibers onto a substrate using V-groove structures. It maintains the polarization state of light, making it widely used in high-precision optical communication and sensing applications. The V-groove design ensures accurate alignment and stable polarization, with an extinction ratio typically greater than 20 dB (@1550 nm). The end-face polishing angle can be customized to minimize optical reflection and reduce insertion loss (≤0.3 dB). - Applications: - Optical Communication: Used in coherent optical communication, CPO, 5G/6G networks, and data center interconnects, supporting high-speed parallel transmission (e.g., 100G PSM4 modules). - LiDAR: Enhances the signal-to-noise ratio of 1550 nm fiber-based LiDAR systems, improving autonomous driving accuracy. - Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG): Serves as a key component that directly affects bias stability and measurement accuracy. - Optical Sensors: Applied in environmental monitoring, intelligent transportation, and other scenarios requiring stable polarization control. - Features: - Polarization Stability: Utilizing birefringence and asymmetric structural design, the PM FA achieves an extinction ratio ≥20 dB, polarization axis deviation within ±3°, and complies with Telcordia GR-1221-CORE reliability standards. - End-Face Processing and Polishing: Supports multiple polishing angles (0°, 8°, 42.5°, 45°) with flatness error <200 nm and protrusion <200 nm, adaptable to various optical module requirements.
