In the 1990's Fiberguide developed 2-dimensional arrays of single mode fibers to meet extraordinarily demanding specifications of Lucent Technologies' Bell Laboratories. They needed the centerlines of 361 fibers in a 19 x 19 array to be positioned to an absolute accuracy of ± 2.0 microns over the entire array. This required a positioning accuracy beyond that possible with conventional ma... (read more)

DESCRIPTION

Arrays are manufactured using highly precision etched silicon wafer V-Groove technology providing exceptional control of fiber-to-fiber pitch and linearity, in conjunction with a silicon lid enabling sub-micron accuracy. The V-Groove chips provide a multi-fiber housing that is exceedingly lightweight, low profile and highly robust, designed for next generation high perf... (read more)

Banner Engineering Corp. introduces PresencePLUS® sealed linear array lights, which provide high-intensity lighting of large areas or objects at long distances with vivid, maintenance-free LED illumination. These high-power, solid-state arrays are housed in a durable, waterproof, IP68-rated housing, making them a superior lighting option for washdown environments. (read more)

Tapered optical fibers can be made either by fusing a short tapered section onto a longer fixed diameter fiber, or, by very carefully controlling the drawing process to produce a single continuous fiber with an integral tapered section. Fiberguide used the latter process since it results in superior fiber strength, alignment precision and optical power transmission. Tapered optical fibers cause... (read more)

Linear 4-element arrays of 1mm² SSPMs mounted on a PCB substrate with a sensor pitch of 2mm.
