Customer specified v-grooves and fibre arrays
V-grooves in a choice of materials including quartz, glass or ceramic are designed and produced to meet the exacting requirements of each customer
Devices can be made in virtually any size, and can have from one to hundreds of grooves, the most common though include 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 grooves.
Moritex V-grooves, available in a choice of materials including quartz, glass or ceramic, are utilised in making fibre optic arrays - a key component in a variety of optical devices.
From laser diode arrays to optical switching, a high quality array is crucial in achieving high performance.
Produced using a highly accurate grinding process, Moritex Europe has been able to obtain deep grooves relative to those made by the traditional chemical etching methods used in the manufacture of silicon V-groove devices.
The highly accurate tolerances derived from the manufacturing process means that the devices maintain an even fibre height and pitch that is essential for low loss connections and even performance.
With pitch tolerances typically better than +/-0.3 micron, Moritex says its V-grooves and fibre arrays provide the precision to ensure the alignment of single and multimode optical fibres within optical modules.
