VGC V-Groove Chips

Product information "VGC V-Groove Chips"

1 to 48 Channels; Channel Spacing 250 µm; Dimensions 10.4 x 3.8 x 1 to 10.4 x 14.8 x 1 mm; Matching Pyrex Lids; Fiber Type SM, MM, PM

OZ Optics’ VGC series of V-Groove chips assists in developing next generation photonic devices. The array components allow precise alignment of up to 48 either ribbonized or individual fibers in a linear array. Utilizing VGC V-Grooves with a Pyrex lid allows UV or heat curing of the fibers into the array and attachment to another device.

The side wall design incorporated in the rear of the V-Groove chip enhances the overall assembly’s strength and rigidity and reduces breakages. Standard channel spacing is 250 µm, other channel spacings are available upon request - for further information, please contact the AMS Technologies optical fiber experts.

Key Features:

  • Up to 48 Channel V-Groove Arrays
  • High-Accuracy V-Grooves Using Etched Silicon or Machined Glass
  • Compatible With 125/250 µm Diameter Single Mode (SM), Multi Mode (MM) and Polarization Maintaining (PM) Fibers
  • 0.5 µm Channel Spacing Accuracy
  • Designed to Meet Telcordia Requirements
  • Silicon and Glass Versions


Applications: Pigtailing of Integrated Optical Devices; Connection to Planar Waveguide Devices; Attachment to an Array of Active Devices; Connection of MEMS Devices and Miniaturized Fiber Optic Components; Construction of DWDM and Multi-channel Devices
