Chip Fiber Array Adhesive
The table below lists a selection of adhesives that are suitable for joining, reinforcing and sealing fibre cables, fibre-chip interfaces and fibre arrays. To secure fibre-optic cables, fibre arrays and waveguides, Hoenle has developed special adhesives that can allow an unimpeded transmission of light at optical interfaces. To maintain their light transmission properties, they do not yellow or otherwise change in colour with age. By adhesively fixing the Si waveguide chip and fiber, a high-precision stage is no longer required for chip characterization, making handling easier. NTT-AT's series of adhesives for fiber array assemblies feature high moisture resistance and excellent workability for v-groove fixing or optical fiber fixing. Disclosed is a method and system applicable to attaching a single or multiple optical fibers in sequence to a photonic integrated circuit enabling precise control of optical fibers and/or multiple types of optical fibers and/or at any pitch.
