Where to Buy Fiber Arrays

PHIX Photonics Assembly offers a broad range of V-groove fiber arrays for photonic integrated circuit (PIC) connections which are used in telecommunication networks, medical equipment, space and military applications, as well as test and measurement equipment. With our extensive experience in connecting fiber arrays to PICs for various platforms like Silicon Nitride, Silicon Photonics, and Indium Phosphide, we are your partner in the selection and supply of high-quality V-groove fiber arrays.

WOP offers fabrication services for optical fiber alignment arrays (1D, 2D micro-hole arrays). Laser micromachining, together with SLE which we use for fiber alignment structures production, offers definite advantages in terms of precision, consistency, speed, material versatility, and cost-effectiveness.

Using our laser micromachining method, critical features such as tight tolerances, tight positional accuracies, and hole diameter – within the tolerance of ±0.25 μm – can be achieved. This tight control of metrics ensures well-controlled alignment that might reduce insertion loss and provide good repeatability.

Moreover, this method enables forming the hole entrance as a funnel, step profile, or with a conical taper for easy fiber insertion. The channels can be straight or angled (like 8̊ ).
