FAQ
1. How to ensure the 128-channel ultrawide array endfaces are protected from microparticle contamination and physical damage during cross-border logistics?
We have designed the highest level of industrial protection for ultra-high-density semiconductor-grade optical arrays. The 128CH polished endfaces, extending for tens of millimeters, are all designed with a suspended protection feature and covered with custom dust covers, completely isolating them from microparticle contamination. Each device, after standardized fiber optic cable management, is independently fixed in an anti-static blister pack or high-density shock-absorbing pearl cotton, and then nested in a sturdy, thickened corrugated cardboard box. This complete solution completely mitigates mechanical vibration and stress damage during long-distance air or sea transport, ensuring the product arrives at your cleanroom perfectly undamaged.
2. Do you provide technical support for multi-channel silicon optical waveguide coupling design or thermal stress assessment?
Absolutely. Our international R&D and engineering team has over 25 years of deep technical expertise in high-density micro-optical packaging. Whether it's complex theoretical boundary calculations of 128-channel overall waveguide coupling loss, cumulative analysis of full array pitch tolerance, or optimization of anti-reflective endface design, we can provide you with expert-level remote technical consultation via video conferencing or email.
