OZ Optics’ VGA series of V-Groove array assemblies assists in developing next generation photonic devices. The arrays are manufactured using precision silicon wafer V-Groove technology or Pyrex V-Groove in conjunction with a Pyrex lid, enabling sub-micron alignment accuracy with UV cure attachment capabilities.

VGA series V-Groove array assemblies are available with single mode (SM), multi mode (MM) or PANDAtype polarization maintaining (PM) fibers. Customization can even include different types of fibers assembled into a single array.

In general, OZ Optics uses polarization maintaining fibers based on the PANDA fiber structure when building polarization maintaining 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.

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.

V-Groove 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.

mRC-KITs mini Recirculating Chiller Kits
Compact Vapor Compression Chillers; Cooling Capacity 450-1000 W @+25°C; Single and Twin Versions; 1 to 5.5 l/min; Temperature Stability ≥±0.05K; Interface USB/Serial, Ethernet AMS Technologies’ mRC-KITs are “mini Recirculating Chiller” development kits for creating particularly compact compressor-based water cooling systems. All mRC-KIT versions feature vapor compression circuits and closed, pressurized recirculating water circuits. On the refrigeration side, miniature rotary compressors as well as customized condensers and evaporators are utilized to reduce the size. The compressor’s BLDC motor is speed controlled by an inverter, eliminating annoying switching noise of hot gas bypass known from ON/OFF compressors. Throughout its speed range, the compressor twin pump design offers low vibration and low noise. Compact centrifugal pumps on the water circuit side also contribute to the compact size Since the water circuit is pressurized, the mRC-KITs manage with very small tanks – without the risk of cavitation in the smoothly operating centrifugal pumps. Overpressure on the cooling system also prevents the ingress of bacteria and oxygen and thus extends the maintenance intervals. While mRC-C-450-24-KIT and mRC-C-450-100/240 feature full chiller power and up to 450 W cooling capacity in a shoe box form factor, DmRC-C-900-100/240-KIT provides two independent water cooling systems in a 19-inch rackmount insert, which can provide a combined maximum cooling capacity of 900 W – either with each circuit cooling two heat loads independently of each other or with both circuits coupled in series, if only one circuit is needed. Our mRC-KITs are available either with a 24 VDC or with a 90 to 264 VAC wide-input-range power supply. The mRC-C-1000-100/240 can also be shipped as a 24V option to target OEM integration applications, that need a cooling capacity of around 1000W and where noise and vibrations are an issue. Automatic fill and drain: Using automatic air and water pump technology integrated into the unit, the cooling water in the tank and pipe system of the mRC-KITs can be easily filled and drained at the push of a button – without the need for time-consuming tilting or removing the unit or the tank from the system and avoiding annoying spills or leaks. mRC Recirculating ChillersIn addition to our mRC-KITs, AMS Technologies provides two recirculating chillers that are CE certified and available from stock. mRC-C-450-100/240 provides up to 500 W cooling capacity, while mRC-C-1000-100/240 features a more powerful compressor, capable of cooling capacities up to 1000 W. Both systems come with an integrated 90 to 264 VAC wide-input-range power supply.  IoT ready: An integrated Ethernet interface allows access to system parameters of the mRC recirculating chillers as well as remote control of the cooling systems via a web browser. Your customized mRC-KIT: For customer requirements that cannot be covered by mRC-C-450-24-KIT, mRC-C-450-100/240 or DmRC-C-900-100/240-KIT, our thermal management specialists at AMS Technologies are happy to develop a completely tailor-made solution and offer all services from development and proof-of-concept all the way to series production. Contact us now to discuss your customized mRC-KIT!

SLC/MU USB & Manual LED Controllers
4 Channels; 12-24 VDC; 1,200 mA Per Channel; Interface USB; Current Resolution 1, 5 mA Mightex’s SLC/MU-Series of four-channel universal USB and manual LED controllers are designed to drive a broad range of LED light sources, and they offer the flexibility for users to operate each LED channel independently, both manually and through software. In addition, the LEDs can be driven both in Continuous Wave (CW) mode and in strobe mode. While the standard model (SLC-CA04-MU) provides 5 mA current resolution, a high-precision variant (SLC-MA04-MU) with 1 mA current resolution is also available. The software comes with a user-friendly GUI that enables one to drive LEDs without the need to write any code. Furthermore, a full-featured SDK is provided in order for users to write their own software and to integrate the LED controllers into their own systems. Manual Control: Each of the four channels can be operated manually in CW mode using a knob, and each knob is operated independently to control the output current of a specific channel. The LED controller also has a fifth knob (i.e. a “Global” knob) allowing to adjust the output current of all the channels at the same time and with the same step size. Therefore, first the intensities for the LED channels can be set – independently – using the four (small) knobs, and then the set intensities of all channels can be increased/decreased simultaneously using the “Global” knob.In order to prevent LED damage due to ‘overdriving/overheating’, the maximum output current of each LED channel can be set individually, via the software provided with the LED controller, to match the current rating of the LED connected to the channel. Software Control: SLC/MU-Series LED controllers can also be operated via a Windows-based application software, provided with the device. In software control mode, each channel can be individually configured by the software to operate in one of the following three modes: Disable Mode: The channel is disabled, and its output is completely turned off Normal Mode (or CW Mode): The output current is constant and can be adjusted (using software) from 0 to 1,200 mA through the USB interface Strobe Mode: A Pulse-Width-Modulated (or PWM) periodic strobe pattern is output from the channel, which can be activated by a software trigger. The strobe pattern may last indefinitely or for a preset number of cycles, depending on the software setting. The maximum frequency of the PWM strobe is 500 Hz. The LED controller also has a DC output used to control a cooling fan, usually used to cool down a high-power LED. The LED controller’s software allows one to control the speed of the cooling fan, through a designated variable PWM signal output. Key Features: Number of Channels: 4 Power Supply: 12 to 24 VDC Per Channel Driving Current: Up to 1,200 mA Current Monitoring Display High Precision with 1 mA Current Resolution Software/Manual Controlled Computer-controllable: USB Interface Dual Control Modes: DC and Strobe Universal Driver – Suitable for Any LED Capable of Driving Variable Loads User-friendly Application Software With GUI Full-featured SDK Applications: Machine Vision; Displays; Semiconductor Equipment; Test Instruments; Microscopy; Medical Instruments
