VGA V-Groove Assemblies

Product information "VGA V-Groove Assemblies"

1 to 48 Channels; Channel Spacing 250 µm; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM; Connector Type SC, FC, ST, LC, MU; Insertion Loss <0.5 dB per Fiber

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.

Fibolux BBS Fiber Optic Broadband Light Sources
1525-1608 nm; Output Power 14-18 dBm; Minimum Power Density -12 dBm/nm; Output Isolation >30, >40 dB; Output Connector FC/PC, FC/APC Fibotec Fiberoptics’ Fibolux BBS series of fiber optic broadband light sources makes use of the Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) within optically pumped rare earth doped fibers. The spectral width of these light sources ranges by design from a few nm to the entire emission wavelength range of the dopand (e.g. Erbium-Ions). The optical power density of fiber optic ASE sources is typically higher than that of broadband fiber-coupled semiconductor-based devices at an even lower noise level (RIN). This characteristic and the strong incoherence resulting from the absence of residual resonator effects make ASE-sources an ideal instrument in test and measurement applications. C- and L-band sources are utilized for spectral characterization of optical components including the DWDM-market. Applications are also found in various White Light Interferometer based instruments. Key Features: Extremely High Power Stability Wavelength Shaping Wavelength Range: 1525 to 1565 nm, 1528 to 1608 nm Additional 1060 nm Versions Output Power: 14 to 18 dBm Minimum Power Density: -12 dBm/nm Power Stability: ±1.5, ±2.5 mdBm (15 min) Output Isolation: >30, >40 dB Output Connector: FC/PC, FC/APC Operating Temperature: 0 to +40°C Power Supply: 5 VDC, 3 A (Module), 100-240 VAC, 50 Hz, 40 W (Instrument) Dimensions: 145 x 100 x 17 mm (Module), 210 x 290 x 95 mm (Instrument) Applications: Test & Measurement; Spectral Characterization of Optical Components; DWDM; White Light Interferometer Based Instruments
