NOVA GEO™ PIC Waveguide & Array Polishing System

Product information "NOVA GEO™ PIC Waveguide & Array Polishing System"

Processing System for Polishing of Waveguides, PICs, PLCs, and Fiber Arrays

The adaptable processing platform of NOVA GEO™ enables it to polish a range of components including waveguides, PIC optical chips, PLCs, and fiber arrays. The angles of polished endfaces can be adjusted from 0 to 50 degrees using either manual or automated workholder stages. Additionally, GEO™ features an adjustable component mounting plate to accommodate varying edge widths and thicknesses.

Optional video inspection systems are available to monitor the polishing process and directly inspect the polished surface within GEO™. This in-line viewing capability reduces material handling and provides a way to verify endface geometry prior to component removal from the machine.

Applications: Polishing of components, such as waveguides, PIC optical chips, PLCs, and fiber arrays

LaserStrip-1500R Fiber Stripper
Integrated Viewing Camera; Window Strip Length 1-50mm, End Strip Length 1-15mm, Strip Length Tolerance ±0.2mm, Shoulder Transitions <500µm OpTek Systems' LaserStrip production tools incorporate technology that has been integral to the high-performance, large-scale production of optical fiber components since the mid-1990s. These tools are meticulously engineered to cater to both existing and emerging generations of components, with a primary focus on maximizing productivity within a user-friendly platform.The LaserStrip system employs a contact-free laser-stripping process to remove acrylate buffers from optical fibers. Configurable for up to 16-fiber ribbons, it accommodates window strip lengths of up to 50 mm and end strip lengths of up to 15 mm, all with precise dimensional control. Notably, the elimination of blades and any potential for glass abrasions renders this process exceptionally well-suited for ultra-high reliability (UHR) applications. Key features: Rapid, non-contact processing Accurate and repeatable feature positioning Eco-friendly manufacturing (chemical free) Improve performance, increase yield, reduce manufacturing costs Reliability due to the elimination of blades and glass abrasions Ideal process for ultra-high reliability (UHR) applications Accurate and repeatable strip length with clean and well-defined shoulder High-throughput – less than 1 minute/ribbon including load and unload time Ability for customer to modify strip length, scan speed, laser pulse repetition rate and duty cycle through integrated control panel Class 1 enclosure with provisions for customer tooling used to hold fiber during processing Fiber Compatibility: 12-Fiber 125µm Ribbon Acrylate Coated (16 Fiber Ribbon solutions available)
