As the demand for high-speed, high-density networks intensifies, there is a pressing need for Fiber Array Units (FAUs) that can maintain stable and precise alignment under diverse conditions. Advanced Fiber Resources has introduced nonlinear 2D Fiber Array Units (FAUs) developed through specialized design and manufacturing processes. These FAUs achieve waveguide matching and effectively improve coupling efficiency. This advancement strengthens optical path stability, contributing to higher performance in wavelength selective switching (WSS) applications. AFR's 2D FAU integrates a hermetic feedthrough, simplifying sealing requirements and reducing design complexity and customer sealing costs. JUDGE'S COMMENT: "A solid product that provides a useful solution for multi-fiber, multi-chip ROADM/WSS optical components."
