Types of Fiber Arrays We Offer

We offer two main types of Fiber Arrays to meet various optical connection needs:

1. 2D Polarization Maintaining Fiber Array

This array is designed to keep the polarisation of light stable during transmission. It comes in two series — the one-dimensional linear array and the two-dimensional surface array. Both are built using silicon-based aperture plates. These provide high alignment accuracy without cumulative error, which helps maintain signal quality. The surface array in particular supports polarisation-preserving signal transmission, making it ideal for systems where precision and signal control matter most.

2. Fiber Array with Lens

This version includes a microlens array made using advanced lithography. Each fiber is matched with a single microlens, allowing for a tightly integrated, space-saving design. This type supports high-density setups with accurate fiber-to-lens alignment. It’s made for those who need reliable beam shaping or focused light delivery in compact optical systems.

Key Features of Fiber Arrays

Both types of Fiber Arrays are built with key performance features in mind:

1. 2D Polarization Maintaining Fiber Array

High Precision Positioning of Substrate: Each array is aligned to meet tight positional tolerances, supporting stable and consistent performance.
Artisan to Axis: Alignment is handled using processes that ensure fiber cores are placed directly along the optical axis.
Custom Design Service: We offer made-to-order options so you can match the array’s layout and properties with your specific use case.

2. Fiber Array with Lens

High Precision Positioning of Substrate: The base materials are chosen and aligned to support steady signal output, especially important in high-density layouts.
Artisan to Axis: Each fiber is carefully aligned to its microlens, helping to maintain clean beam profiles and low signal loss.
Custom Design Service: Customisation is available to fit non-standard pitches, fiber types, or special system requirements.

Applications of Fiber Arrays in Optical Systems

Our Fiber Arrays support a wide range of applications across industries. Each type is suited to slightly different setups based on how the light needs to be handled and where it's being directed.

1. 2D Polarization Maintaining Fiber Array

Optical Fiber Sensors: These arrays help detect small changes in the environment or structure by preserving signal integrity.
Communication Systems: They are widely used in setups that need to maintain a polarisation state across long connections.
Test Instruments and Others: They are ideal for experimental setups or calibration systems that require precise signal control and repeatability.

2. Fiber Array with Lens

Fiber Sensing: The focused beams from the microlens setup improve signal detection in short-range sensing applications.
Optical Computing: The high-density, compact format makes this array type well-suited for use in data processing platforms that rely on light pathways.
Fiber Optic Communication: The accurate coupling between fiber and lens supports smooth light transfer across modules in high-speed networks.

Both options are built for professionals who value stability, accuracy, and reliable results in optical work. Whether you are testing in a lab or building a permanent system, these Fiber Arrays help keep light where it should be.
