Adhesives for Optical Waveguides

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.

Refractive Index 1.52; 100 cps Viscosity at 25°CNorland Index Matching Liquid 150 is a low viscosity liquid monomer that can be used as an index matching media for temporary splicing using the Norland Optical Splice. This material will not cure and will always remain a liquid. Typical Properties of Norland Index Matching Liquid 150 Appearance Light yellow liquid Normal index matching silicone fluids and gels can cause adhesion problems because once it contacts a surface it is very difficult to remove all traces. Our IML 150 can be removed with acetone.

Easy to Use; Irradiance ≤250/≤1000 mW/cm² (1 UCUBE™); Wavelength 275-465 nm (UCUBE™); Power Supply 100-240 VAC; Active Air Cooling With Fans, Water Cooling Optional The UV CHAMBER™ is an easy-to-use UV LED irradiation oven designed and manufactured by UWAVE and suitable for a wide range of applications like curing, bonding, photolithography or photoaging. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the UV CHAMBER™ gives full control over UV insolation processes and a great repeatability. Users can tune the time, the power of the illumination as well as the working distance. These combined features make the UV CHAMBER™ the ideal UV LED irradiation oven for semi-automatic UV curing processes or R&D lab work. Thanks to its design and the technology included, the UV CHAMBER™ provides homogeneous irradiance and an efficient UV curing for any position of the 300 mm x 300 mm tray. Multiple parameters can be easily selected and changed to fit your UV curing process such as the insolation time, the irradiance or the cured area: Time setting range from 1 s to 100 min with a 1 s resolution Power setting range from 20% to 99% with a 1% resolution Working distances from the emitting window of the UV LED curing lamp selectable with tray position: 35, 85, 135, 185 & 235 mm An intelligent security system between the lamp and the door avoids unwanted UV light exposure by cutting off the illumination if the door is open. Thanks to the security window, users can watch the interior of the UV CHAMBER™ during exposure without any risk. The UV CHAMBER™ is delivered with the UCUBE™ version that fits your optical power and homogeneity needs, or with another product on request. UCUBE™ UV LED flood curing lamps, suitable for the UV CHAMBER™, are optionally available with dispersive or collimated optics, air- or water-cooled, in two different power versions (25 LEDs, 250 mW/cm² or 100 LEDs, 1,000 mW/cm²) and with wavelengths of 275 nm, 305 nm, 365 nm, 385 nm, 395 nm, 405 nm and 465 nm. To meet actual concerns on contamination and spread of virus and bacteria, UWAVE has developed a UV-C version with the best 275 nm LED in the market. Equipped with this UCUBE™ model, the UV CHAMBER™ allows a quick & efficient disinfection process of objects and surfaces for targeted objects or R&D tests – ensuring a safe process thanks to its secured design. Any other wavelength (UV-C, UV-B, Visible and IR) is available upon request, please contact AMS Technologies for further details. The UV CHAMBER™ UV LED irradiation oven can be tailored depending on your needs: Number of light sources variable from 1 to 4 UCUBE™ systems for a larger insolated area Instead of UCUBE™, other UV LED flood curing systems such as the USPOT™ or UBAR™ can be installed Mechanical customization is available, e.g. holes for various measurement sensors (UV radiometer, temperature probe), nitrogen atmosphere adaptation, etc. Please contact AMS Technologies to discuss your customized UV LED curing oven, tailored to your requirements.
