Spotsize and Pitch Converter

Our planar lightwave interposers provide the freedom to remove tapering sections from high contrast planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology, such as InP or Silicon-on-Isolator (SOI). This way, the often complicated and footprint consuming tapering structures can be avoided, reducing the overall costs.

The interposer is based on our established and patented TriPleXTM waveguide technology. The module can be delivered with a SMF28 fiber-array or with a Polarization Maintaining fiber- array. Alternatively the interposer can be delivered as a bare PLC chip without any fibers attached

Key Features 

  • Modefield conversion
  • Pitch conversion
  • Low loss
  • Low polarization dependency
  • Available with SMF28 Fiber array or as bare interposer chip

Applications

  • Spotsize conversion from standard single mode fiber to InP, SOI or any other high contrast PLC technology.
  • Pitch conversion from standard single mode fibers to smaller pitches commonly used in high contrast PLC technology.
  • Combine spotsize and pitch conversion to attach a standard SMF fiber-array to a multi channel, high contact PLC.
