Polymer Optical Waveguide <OPGUIDE>

"OPGUIDE" is excellent to the mass production because of the possibility of filming by a spin coating; which is impossible in a quartz. Also, the number of component can be reduced by the hybrid packaging of the LD, PD, WDM filter, optical fiber, and so on and thus the miniaturization of module has accomplished.

Features

• Lower loss in signal strength
• Easy packaging of optical fiber with v-grooves for passive alignment
• Electrode for LD and/or PD is associated with polymer optical waveguide
• High reliability
