High Return Loss 2D Fiber Arrays (Preliminary) (Download MSWord)
Description
Arrayed Fiberoptics' patented High Return Loss two-dimensional (HRL 2D) Fiber Arrays provide a means to couple fibers to optical switches and other array devices with very high return loss performance, which dramatically reduces back-reflection that can cause instability in lasers and other elements of an optical system. This high return-loss performance is achieved without any angle polish. Furthermore, these HRL 2D fiber arrays can handle much higher power than traditional fiber arrays.
Advantages
- Improves return loss
- Handles very high power
- Linear or 2-dimensional array configurations
- High reliability
- Strain relief packaging
- Requires minimal/no change from traditional packaging processes
Applications
High Return Loss Fiber Arrays may be used anywhere a fiber interface with high return loss and/or the ability to handle high power is desired. Typical applications include coupling to optical switches, microlens arrays, etc.
