Fiber Optic Arrays
FiberTech Optica has developed capabilities to fabricate high precision linear, 2D and v-groove fiber arrays housed in common metals and polymers. For applications requiring fibers spaced apart with higher accuracy, we can also supply precision hole arrays machined in fused silica. These components enable us to manufacture assemblies with fiber arrangements of practically unlimited complexity.
FiberTech Optica arrays use patented technology to offer unmatched tolerances on fiber positioning and centering. Deep understanding of mechanical and optical tolerances and their effect on final product performance, coupled with our experience in custom components allow us to achieve the high level of technical craftsmanship that sets us apart in our industry.
