Product information "Adhesives for Optical Waveguides"

Refractive Index 1.458-1.567; Viscosity 145-2,000 mPas; Optical Transmittance (@1 mm, 1.3 µm) 82%-94%; Bond Strength 99->247 kgf/cm²; UV Curing Conditions 10, 30 mW/cm², 5, 10 min

You are looking for PLC and fiber array adhesion with high reliability? Try NTT Advanced Technology Corporation’s series of adhesives for optical waveguides!

Within this series you find acrylate-based adhesives (AT6001, AT8224)with excellent durability that have cleared a large number of reliability tests. Epoxy adhesives are also part of this series, with a refractive index that can be accurately controlled within a range of 1.456 to 1.567 (±0.005, Na-D) – or with a fixed refractive index that is the same as quartz to deliver low reflectance (GA700L, GA700H).

UV curing of the adhesives for optical waveguides allows for adhesion in a short time frame and makes alignment easy. The adhesives withstand a solder reflow process for Si Photonics (+260 °C).

In order to achieve high reliability, a product must clear the tests conducted by the users themselves. If you have had even just a bit of dissatisfaction in reliability test results in the past, please put NTT Advanced Technology Corporation’s adhesives for optical waveguides to the test.

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.

ADS Final Polishing Films
5 inch Disc; Silicon Dioxide; Ceramic Ferrule; no PSAThe ADS film can be used for final polishing for optical fiber connector end-face.The ADS film offers longer life cycle for the optical connector polishing.NTT Advanced Technology Corporation’s ADS series of final polishing films is ideal for the final polish of optical connector end faces and offers longer polishing life cycles. These films polish the end face of an optical connector without scratches, residues or contamination on the ferrule end face.ADS-NEXT polishing films feature stable polishing force while maintaining final finish performance and achieving an extended life-span. This series of final polishing films attains a high-performance polish with distilled water. Another feature of the ADS-NEXT series is a sharp improvement in the indentation problems that occur especially in 1.25 mm diameter ferrules from repeated use polishing. Even after many usages, ADS-NEXT can still protect against sudden occurrences of fiber indentation.ADS-MPO series is a new generation of polishing films that has been improved for MPO connector end faces to realize a finishing quality equivalent to that of single fiber polish, leaving no scratches or dirt while at the same time their stable polishing power ensures long life. These films can polish to a convex shape to eliminate dips in the core (Coredip value of “0”) which particularly affects the optical characteristics (IL/RL) of multi mode fiber. APS-MPO final polishing films also realize low return loss, comparable to single connectors, by suppressing subsurface damaged layer to a minimum. With a base thickness of 75 µm, they are available in disc and sheet types.Key Features:Ideal for Final Polish of MPO Optical Connector End FaceHigh Stability and Long Product LifetimePrevents Excessive Fiber Undercut after Repeated Use (ADS/ADS-NEXT)Multi Mode Fiber Coredip Value of “0” (ADS-MPO)Low Return Loss Comparable to Single Mode Fiber Connectors (ADS-MPO)Compatible with 1.25, 2.5 mm Diameter Zirconia Ferrules (ADS/ADS-NEXT), MPO Ferrule, All Types (ADS-MPO)Compatible with Multi Mode (OM1/2/3/4, GI50/62.5, etc.) and Single Mode (OS1/2, SM, etc.) Fiber (ADS-MPO)Disc Type (5.0 inch, 127 mm Diameter), Sheet Type (5.5 x 5.5 inch, 140 x 140 mm, ADS-MPO) and Roll Type (5.5 inch, 140 mm x 12 m, ADS/ADS-NEXT) AvailableApplications: Final Polish of Fiber Connector End Face
