Fiber Lensing
Lensed fibers are an excellent way to
interface or ‘couple’ optical fibers to laser, detector chips or waveguides.
AFP Ltd utilizes two fiber lensing technologies for producing high-quality lenses in volumes at low cost:
|
Both processes produce high-yield, low cost solutions on all types of fiber, including SMF, MMF, PMF, FBGF, etc.
Precise fiber tip geometries allow very high coupling ratios to be achieved with low back-reflection characteristics that will sustain high optical power transmission.
AR coatings can be added to the fiber lens tip for any targeted optical power as well as combining the lensed fiber tip with hermetic feed through features, metallization etc.
