Product information "Adhesives for Fiber Array Assemblies"

Viscosity 70->20,000 mPas; Shear Bond Strength > 69->200 kgf/cm²; Bending Adhesion Strength 9-25 kgf/cm²; UV Curing Conditions 10-100 mW/cm², 5, 10 min; Colour Light Yellow, Colourless, White; Tg +42-+219 °C

NTT-AT’s series of adhesives for fiber array assemblies feature high moisture resistance and excellent workability for v-groove fixing or optical fiber fixing.

Fiber arrays are used for the input and output of optical waveguide devices. NTT-AT’s AT3925M, AT9390, AT9968, AT3727E and AT3728E epoxy-based optical adhesives are used for fixing the v-grooves and have realized price reductions while enhancing moisture resistance compared to conventional products. These adhesives can be polished after assembly.

NTT-AT’s AT9575M (epoxy) and AT8105 (acrylate) adhesives for optical fiber fixing have gained popularity for their good workability as non-fluid adhesives.

NTT-AT has executed durability tests that have shown no peeling of a fiber array after 2,000 hours at +85 °C and 85% of humidity. With viscosities that are appropriate for the usage location, the adhesives for fiber array assemblies are easy to use. While the adhesives for fixing v-grooves show fluidity, the optical fiber fixing adhesives’ consistency is that of a paste, suitable for protecting the fiber.

In case you need any consulting regarding issues related to adhesion, please contact the AMS Technologies optical adhesives experts to discuss the detailed challenges of your application.

Utilizing its refractive index control technology and optical loss reduction technology, NTT-AT has developed optical adhesives with a high refractive index adjustable to 1.6 or more. By adding high refractive index fillers, NTT-AT is even able to manufacture resins with a refractive index of 1.9. These resins are aimed at usage in the fields of optical recording, display technology, optical energy uses, etc. In addition to this series, NTT-AT also provides high refractive index resins for nanoimprint applications. NTT’s high refractive index resins are excellent in transparency in visible light domains, with haze values of 1 or less, so it is expected that they are used as a coating agent for displays and similar products. Within this series, you find acrylate-based adhesives (#18165 and #6205) as well as epoxy adhesives (E3754 and E7200). To match the particular working environment of our customers, NTT-AT provides both ultraviolet (UV) and heat curing types.

NOA 1315 Optical Adhesive 1oz bottle
Refractive Index 1.315; 15 cps Viscosity at 25°C Norland Optical Adhesive 1315 is clear liquid adhesive that will cure when exposed long wavelength ultraviolet light. NOA 1315 is recommended for bonding for glass to glass. Adhesion is also good to cellulose acetate butyrate. NOA 1315 is cured by ultraviolet light between 320 to 450 nm. Full cure requires 6 Joules/cm 2. The adhesive exhibits oxygen inhibition when used exposed to air. To overcome this the adhesive must be cured under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen. When used as a coating the liquid adhesive's temperature must be kept below 9C to prevent vaporization.Typical Properties of NOA 1315 Temperature Range -15°C to 90°C Keep NOA 1315 in a cool ( 5 to 20°C) dark place. If refrigerated, allow the adhesive to come to room temperature before using.
