High-Precision Optical Adhesives

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-AT’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-AT’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.

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.

Compact & Lightweight; Irradiance ≤1,200 mW/cm²; Wavelength 365, 385, 395, 405 nm; 4 Interchangeable Lenses; Passive Cooling The UFIBER™ series comprises precise and high-intensity UV LED spot-curing systems suitable for high-precision curing & bonding applications in a compact and versatile unit. In these intuitive systems, UWAVE combines the high performance and benefits of UV LED technology to deliver optimized & consistent light on a precise location. With irradiance levels reaching 1,200 mW/cm², UFIBER™ systems are perfect for in-lab tests and UV curing processes. For longer lifetime and more stable optical performances, a heat-sink body can be added onto the UFIBER™ body to improve thermal management. Four different lenses (window, large, medium & focus) can be mounted for different optical performances regarding power, spot size, etc. Theses lenses and LED heads can be used in any combination. Available wavelengths include 365 nm, 385 nm, 395 nm and 405 nm. Any other wavelength (UV-C, UV-B, Visible and IR) is available upon request, please contact AMS Technologies for further details. These combined features make UFIBER™ systems the perfect UV spotlight for quick and precise curing of adhesives, coatings and encapsulants. For powering and controlling the UFIBER™ systems, UWAVE provides different types of controllers for different requirements. The screen version of the UPOWER™ UV LED power supply & control unit can control up to six UFIBER™ heads simultaneously or independently. With its intuitive screen interface, it allows to choose mode, time and power parameters – including semi-automatic operation using a footswitch as well as fully automatic operation allowing smart communication with a PLC. The UFIBER™ LED has a much higher output power stability than other technologies and does not emit infrared radiation, thus heat-sensitive materials can be processed. UV LEDs are eco-friendly as they do not create ozone, do not contain mercury and only need a few watts to operate. Key Features: Powerful, Flexible & Compact Optical System With 4 Different Interchangeable Lenses: Window, Large, Medium & Focus Ideal for Low and High Production Volumes Thanks to an Easy Mechanical Integration Low Energy Consumption for High-quality Results Max.
