Focuslight Introduces Engineered V-Groove Arrays for Multi-Channel Optical Communications with New Level of Flexibility and Precision

Xi’an, China – March 17, 2025 – Focuslight Technologies announces the launch of their new Engineered V-Groove for Multi-Channel Fiber Arrays. The products are designed for a variety of applications such as optical modules, fiber connectors, PLC splitters in FTTX networks, and AWGs in WDM systems, etc., offering a new level of flexibility and precision to meet the stringent demands of high-speed optical communication.

Manufactured with exceptional precision on the wafer level, these V-Grooves achieve accumulative pitch tolerance within ±1µm for 96 channels, ensuring superior alignment and performance in multi-channel applications scenarios.

The variable V-Groove design also offers a new level of adaptability, enabling:

• Standard and application-specific designs
• Different angles or pitches within array
• Compatible pitch alignment with corresponding microlens arrays
• Integrated mechanical positioning support
• Flexibly engineered V-Groove patterns, including concave and convex designs

Focuslight’s V-Groove arrays can be made with a wide range of materials, including Borofloat 33, Fused Silica, S-TIH53, S-BSL7 (and equivalent such as N-BK7), Silicon, as well as Ceramics and other non-toxic optical glasses upon request. Other key specifications include:

Notes:

*      Parameters are influencing each other – please contact us for further information or exceeding specifications.

**     Scattering of the height deviations of the fiber centers in relation to an edge.

***   Specification for single pitch error or from V-groove to V-groove.

Focuslight ensures the highest reliability through 100% testing of application performance parameters and comprehensive inspections, providing customers with products that meet the highest industry standards.

With its new engineered V-Groove arrays, Focuslight continues to drive innovation in optical communications, offering cutting-edge solutions that enhance the efficiency, precision, and scalability of multi-channel optical systems.
