Fiber array, mainly 1D fiber array, has been widely used in optical communication for a long time. However, as the demand for higher speed rises rapidly and the newly developed 2D fiber array
can realize a higher density of optical transmission, updating the traditional one-dimensional fiber array to two-dimensional fiber array is now gradually becoming a trend and necessity in the industry.
2D linear fiber array
is a plurality of fibers being arranged into the required geometric shape. Aiming to obtain high-density fiber arrangement, 2-dimensional fiber array can be seen as the longitudinal extension of 1D fiber array. MEISU's two dimensional fiber array series, including 2D Fiber Array 170, Fiber Collimator, and Fiber Optic Bundle, can provide you with multiple choices of 2D arrays. With MEISU's products, different applications in optical cross-connection, spectroscopy, astronomy, and biomedical imaging can all be effectively conducted. Let us help you to find the best 2D matrix fiber arrays for your specific application!
2D Fiber Array
MEISU's 2D fiber array can be realized with glass faceplate or ceramic faceplate, each has its own advantages, a plurality of fibers with certain spacing populate.
2D Collimator Array
2D collimator arrays are more and more applied for WSS (wavelength selective switch) to meet the development of optical communication, such as OXC and
Fiber Bundle
A fiber bundle is a closely packed fiber array that fibers are arranged side by side in matrix or circle layout on a glass substrate or in connector ferrule. They are a critical part of the spectrometer.
2D Fiber Arrays Features
Fiber array, mainly 1D fiber array, has been widely used in optical communication for a long time. Whereas, in order to meet the demand for higher speed, updating one-dimensional fiber array to two-dimensional fiber arrays has now become a necessity.
2D fiber array is a plurality of fibers being arranged into the required geometric shape. It is the longitudinal extension of 1D fiber array. As for 2D fiber optic assemblies, they can allow thousands of channels to position precisely in the X direction and Y direction simultaneously without any crosstalk. To meet different applications in optical cross-connection, spectroscopy, astronomy and biomedical imaging, MEISU now provides you with various choices of 2D array connectors and 2D fiber arrays of arbitrary patterns. At here, you can find fibers of single-mode, multimode, or polarization maintaining type, even lensed fibers. Moreover, as MEISU also possesses a unique precise positioning system, high pitch accuracy +/-1um is guaranteed by a precisive drilling machine at MEISU. If you want, extra metal case and protective cables can also be added to the 2D array glass assembly for easier handling.
2D Fiber Arrays FAQs
What Is The Materials For The Substrate and Lid of Fiber Bundle?
Borosilicate glass, Quartze or Silicone.
What Is Fiber Pitch Tolerance For 2D Fiber Array?
+/-1um or +/-2um depend on glass faceplate or ceramic one.
What Is The Difference Between Glass Faceplate And Ceramic Faceplate?
Ceramic faceplate: fiber pitch tolerance<2um; No developing cost, better for sample orders;
Glass faceplate: fiber pitch tolerance<1um; high developing cost at an early stage, more economical for mass production.
What Is The Minimum Fiber Pitch You Can Achieve For A 2D Fiber Array?
250um. Smaller fiber pitch can be realized by packing fibers closely into the fiber bundle.
What Pattern Can the 2D Fiber Bundle Be?
Rectangular or round.
