Optical Fiber V-Grooves Array Fiber Arrays
V-Grooves are precision channels or cuts, it is typically fabricated in silicon or glass, and are essential components in the industry of fiber optics and optical applications. The grooves provide accurate alignment for optical fibers, ensure minimal signal loss and optimal performance in data transmission. The precision of V-Grooves is crucial for maintaining the integrity of optical pathways, making them indispensable in the manufacturing of fiber optic connectors, splitters, and other related devices.And V-Grooves are used in various high-precision applications, such as photonic integrated circuits and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), where exact alignment and stability are paramount.
