Adhesives for Optical Waveguides

Refractive Index 1.603-1.720; Viscosity 9-7,000 mPas; Transmittance 72%-96%; Hardness 67-83 Shore D; Shear Bond Strength 35->280 kgf/cm²; UV Curing Conditions 10, 100 mW/cm², 5, 10 min; Tg +63-+113 °C With a typical refractive index of 1.5 in conventional optical adhesives, the problem of a high reflection loss arose in cases of adhesion with high refractive index glass and crystal materials. 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. NTT-AT provides refractive index customized resins to meet each customer's needs. It is possible to respond to several kinds of requests such as with/without solvent or adjusting the viscosity.

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.

5 inch Disc; Silicon Dioxide; Ceramic Ferrule; no PSA NTT Advanced Technology’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.

5 inch Disc; Silicon Dioxide; Ceramic Ferrule; no PSA The 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’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 Face High Stability and Long Product Lifetime Prevents 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) Available Applications: Final Polish of Fiber Connector End Face
