MicroAlign produces Fiber Arrays with the Highest Pitch Accuracy
MicroAlign has developed a revolutionary manufacturing technology to produce fiber arrays with actively aligned fiber cores, featuring as consequence the highest pitch accuracy in the world!
Photonic chips that require an increasing number of optical fiber connections can be connected to MicroAlign’s fiber arrays which will provide a perfect alignment between the optical fiber cores and the chip waveguide ports defined with nanolithography technology.
Such fiber arrays are the ideal choice when your chip ports demand less than a few tenths of dB in coupling loss to optical fibers.
… are you coupling light to SMF28 fibers and you want to achieve the best light transmission?
… are you coupling light to small core fibers and the loss penalty is extremely sensitive to misalignments?
We got this!

About MicroAlign solution
MicroAlign has developed a revolutionary alignment solution to optimally connect multiple optical fibers and photonics integrated chips.
The problem
Optimal coupling efficiency between optical fiber arrays and photonic chips is limited by the core positioning imperfections in fiber arrays assembled in V-groove chip technology and based on passive alignment.
V-groove (passive alignment)
The solution
MicroAlign produces fiber arrays where the fiber cores are independently and actively aligned to achieve the highest pitch accuracy. This enables the most efficient coupling between fiber arrays and chips.
