Axetris Micro-Lenses For Communication Devices

High speed data centres as well as the transition for the next generation 5G network require the deployment of ever- increasing numbers of transceivers. Heart of each transceiver is the transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) in combination with the receiver optical subassembly (ROSA). Both are realizing the interface between electrical and optical signal transmission. With its micro-optic lenses in silicon and fused silica Axetris is already a part of this huge network of data transfer. Micro-Optics are used in a variety of telecom

Customers benefit from precise lens profile and pitch control, high surface quality for high coupling efficiency, ultra-compact size for high integration and cost-effective wafer level manufacturing.

(SIP) and PICs. Due to the high refractive index of silicon, Axetris’ micro-lenses are ideal for highly efficient coupling for 100G/400G/800G and beyond.

customers worldwide with micro technology based (MEMS processes) micro- optical components used in telecom, industrial, medical, consumer electronics and automotive applications. Axetris also offers based on the same MEMS technologies gas sensing solution such as infrared light sources, laser gas sensors, mass flow meters and controllers.

Fibre detector from Fluke

ZGT’s Shutter Adaptor

Fluke has launched the first handheld tool that detects invisible near-infrared (850- 1625nm) wavelengths used in fibre-optic communication to troubleshoot cable, port, polarity and transceiver

With the launches of the LC quad internal shutter adaptor (IEC standard) in August, ZGT now has a full range of SC, LC internal shutter adaptors with IEC standard dimensions, which provide a good solution to improve or renew the adaptors in data centre, central office or other places. The new internal shutter adaptors with same footprint as ordinary adaptors, you don’t need to make any

issues. Designed for one-handed

operation, the FiberLert™ is a troubleshooting tool that allows technicians and engineers to simply test for the presence of near infra-red light without the need for complicated setup or interpretation of the measurement data. Fluke says fibre networks carry a significant amount of data and issues that arise can impact many users making a quick resolution essential. FiberLert™ removes the guesswork by indicating where the signal is present and where it is not. This allows users to quickly pinpoint and remedy the

cause of the problem, such as a failed transceiver or failed patch cord and replace it. FiberLert™ supports single-mode, multimode, UPC/APC patch cords and ports and can test without contacting the port or patch cord, reducing the risk of contamination or damage. FiberLert’s LightBeat™ feature flashes the LED, indicating a powered-on condition and good battery. A timer shuts the tester off after five minutes of inactivity to extend battery life. Rugged design includes a convenient pocket clip and is backed by a two-year warranty.
