Scalable Coupling Solutions in between Fiber and Chip, FlexBeamGuidE™︎
Low-profile and Small Foot-print Fiber-array based on Tight-bent Fiber and Planar Lightwave Circuit
The integration of silicon waveguides and optical fibers in compact spaces poses a significant obstacle to the implementation of fiber optics in data centers. We have devised solutions to overcome this challenge by leveraging our cutting-edge optical fiber bending and PLC technologies. Through our innovative approaches, we have successfully established seamless and high-performance interconnections between fibers and chips, not only enhancing the efficiency and reliability of Silicon Photonics, but also optimizing the overall system design.
KEY DESIGN
WHY CHOOSE SUMITOMO ELECTRIC'S PLC
0.8 μm
Minimum line width of 0.8μm for waveguides realizes fine pitch lightwave circuit and smaller foot print
3.0 %
Ratio of refractive index between core and clad, Δ is rose to 3%, providing low loss waveguide with tight curve
450 μm
Less curvature radius of waveguide provides smaller foot print and longer length lightwave circuit in single chip
PRODUCT LINEUP
Spot Size Conversion Fiber Array, FBGE-SC
The advanced Planar Lightwave Circuit technology effectively bridges the difference of the Mode Field Diameter between silicon photonics chips and optical fibers, across multiple channels.
Ultra Multi Channel Fiber Array, FBGE-UM
Improves coupling efficiency in between ultra multi-channel PIC and fiber array, with functional planar lightwave circuit block which reduces core pitch offset of the fiber array.
Single Mode CWDM4 MuxDemux, FBGE-WD
Single-mode WDM components that are easily coupled with Silicon photonics chips and high-speed PD arrays, featuring SiO₂ waveguides with polarization-independence.
Lenses mounted Fiber Array, FBGE-LA
Flexibly controls multiple light beams by customizing diameter and focal length of the lenses to be mounted at the end of the fiber array.
Low Profile Suface Coupler, FBGE-LP
Low Profile Coupler is a compact optical coupling component designed using special fiber bending technology. Compared to conventional technologies, it achieves an overwhelmingly low profile, enabling efficient optical coupling to silicon photonics chips even in limited spaces.
