Latching; 4x4, 4x8, 8x8; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 1240 to 1640 nm; Insertion Loss 1.2 to 2.5 dB; Crosstalk 75 dB; Switching Time 0.5 to 6 ms Sercalo Microtechnology's SL series of NxN fiber optic matrix switches are non-blocking devices that connect any of the input fibers to any of the output fibers. Available in 4x4, 4x8 and 8x8 configurations, these switches achieve low insertion loss and high repeatability. For these lower port counts the switches are based on cascaded 2x2 modules. The underlying MEMS technology permits to obtain low insertion loss combined with high crosstalk between channels. Sercalo Microtechnology’s highly reliable switching mechanism uses integrated micro-mirrors that can be moved in or out of the optical path by electrostatic actuation. Light from port A is routed to port B; an optional array of 1x1 switches independently enables or disables the channels of port A. A microcontroller supervises the routing configuration and communicates through an UART interface with TTL (option A) or RS-232 (option B) voltage levels and over a secondary SMBus/I2C (option I) or USB (option U) interface. Users can choose the factory preset and change this configuration whenever needed. The latching mechanism offers the best repeatability and long-term stability. The component is designed to conform to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards. The miniature package withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards. An evaluation board with Ethernet interface is available on request.

2,4,8,16 Fibers; Fiber Type SM, PM; Ribbon or Individual Fibers; V-Groove Spacing 250-1000 µm; Connector Type FC/PC, ST, SC, LC, MU, None OZ Optics’ LPCA series of collimator/focuser array assemblies assist in developing next generation photonic devices. The arrays are manufactured using precision V-Groove technology in conjunction with single-element lens arrays, enabling sub-micron alignment accuracy. OZ Optics fiber collimators and focusers are designed to collimate or focus light exiting a fiber to a desired beam diameter or spot size. By utilizing diffraction limited lenses, spot sizes of a few microns can be achieved. These devices can be used with photonic integrated circuits (PIC), arranged wave guides (AWG), and other fiber optic devices. Collimators and focusers can be used as matched pairs to couple light in and out of optical devices. This makes them ideal for dense fiber packaging devices. OZ Optics’ LPCA precision fiber optic collimator/focuser array assemblies are available with single mode (SM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fibers. Customization can even include different types of fibers assembled into a single array. PM fibers offer a means to control the polarization of optical signals throughout the system thus minimizing polarization dependent losses (PDL) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) effects. This control is crucial in developing next generation coherent detection systems. OZ Optics can also use customer supplied fibers to build devices. Standard PANDA style PM arrays are manufactured with the polarization axis (stress rods) aligned vertical to the V-Groove base within 3°. High grade assemblies with one to eight channels can be provided with the stress rods aligned to 1°. Arrays can also be provided with the fibers aligned parallel to the base, alternating axes or at custom angles. When supplied with a breakout and connectors, the alignment of the connector is also to the slow axis, within 3° for standard connectors or available to within 1.5° for high grade connectors. The LPCA collimator/foucser array assemblies can be manufactured with a hermetic feedthrough attached. This enables the development of multichannel photonic devices capable of meeting Telcordia requirements. Fiber breakouts can also be added, to convert ribbonized fibers into separated fibers, capable of being connectorized.

Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; 400 to 2000 nm; Focused Spot Size 2.0 to 6.5 µm; Working Distance 3 to 30 µm; Minimum Strip Distance 5 mm; Return Loss -20 dB Standard, -25 dB With AR Coating OZ Optics TSMJ/TMMJ/TPMJ series of tapered and lensed fibers offers a convenient way to improve coupling between optical fibers and waveguide devices, laser diodes or photo diodes. By laser shaping the fiber end, the light can be transformed to improve mode matching and coupling efficiency with the waveguide device, laser diode chip or photodiode chip. The manufacturing process allows for improved coupling to either circular or oval input spots (this must be specified in advance). OZ Optics tapered and lensed fibers are manufactured by laser shaping the endface to create the optimal light output/input for specific applications. This method provides the best coupling efficiencies and mode matching abilities in a taper. An alternative technique is to instead polish the end face of the fiber to a specific radius and taper angle, forming a lens. Oval spots can also be formed using the polishing technique, normally by shaping the fiber to form a chisel or wedge shape. Single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) or Panda type polarization maintaining (PM) fibers can be tapered. For multi mode fibers, only polished versions with a polish radius and taper angle can be produced. OZ Optics can also generate other polish profiles, such as wedge shapes, which are useful for coupling strip laser diodes into multimode fibers. In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining (PM) components and patch cords. However, OZ Optics can construct devices using other PM fiber structures. OZ Optics also carries some alternative fiber types in stock, please contact AMS Technologies for availability. If necessary, OZ Optics is willing to use customer supplied fibers to build devices. Custom configurations can be designed if required. Tapered fibers can be incorporated into other OZ Optics assemblies including the HSMJ, HMMJ, HPMJ series of hermetically sealable patchcords with metal solder, the HGSMJ/HGMMJ/HGPMJ series of hermetically sealable patchcords with glass solder or the VGA series of V-Groove assemblies, thus aiding in the development of photonic devices that meet Telcordia requirements.

Universal Adapters; Connector Type (Super, Ultra) NTT-FC/PC, SMA 905/906, AT&T-ST, (Angled) SC, Universal; Fiber Type Single Mode (Hybrid Patchcord, Lens Style), Multi Mode (Lens Style) OZ Optics’ AA series of universal connectors and hybrid patchcords are designed for mating two patchcords that have different connectors on their ends. Butt joint style universal connectors feature different female receptacles on either side. Patchcords are simply plugged into either side, and the fiber ends butt together in the middle. These connectors offer an inexpensive and reliable way to connect matching single mode, multi mode, or polarization maintaining patchcords with differing fiber terminations. Connectors with a universal ferrule adaptor design are also available, for connectors that have 2.5 mm diameter ferrules, or 1.25 mm diameter ferrules. These receptacles are best suited for temporary measurements and give added flexibility. Hybrid patchcords have a female receptacle on one side and a male connector on the other side. A small length of fiber lies within the device to transmit the light. Male-to-male hybrid patchcords are also available. Lens style universal connectors are ideal for connecting fibers that have different optical characteristics. They consist of an input receptacle, a collimating lens, a focusing lens and the output receptacle. Light from the input fiber is first collimated, then focused back into the output fiber. The alignment is precisely controlled using OZ Optics’ patented alignment technique. Lens style universal connectors are tilt adjustable to compensate for any offsets between the fiber cores and the connector housings. Please note that universal connectors will not couple light efficiently from a multi mode fiber into a single mode fiber. High losses are unavoidable in this situation, since multi mode fibers have both larger numerical apertures and larger core sizes.
