Optical Fiber Array Product Families for Silicon Photonics Integrated Chips
POINTek, Inc., a global leader and provider of high performance athermal AWGs, announced launching of new Application- Specific Optical Fiber Array Products, Silicon Photonics (SiPh) Fiber Arrays, which is capable of supporting the back-end packaging for Silicon Photonics Integrated Circuits (PIC).
This new Silicon Photonics Fiber Arrays have the excellent characteristics of a fine fiber-end mirror-surface quality and an accurate fiber protrusion length uniformity to match with the prefabricated V-grooves on a Silicon PIC chip. The required fiber protrusion length is typically 5mm with ≤ ±2mm length uniformity in an array. Both Single Mode (SM) Fiber Arrays and Polarization Maintaining (PM) Fiber Arrays are available with or without 12-channel MT ferrule termination.

O-Band Athermal AWG DWDM MUX/DMX Technology for 5G Fronthaul Optical Data Transport Network Solution
POINTek Inc. - a leading provider of DWDM optical mux/demultiplexer globally with manufacturing operations in Korea - today announced the availability of its new DWDM AWG multi/demultiplexer product, which can be used for 5G wireless fronthaul optical data transport network solution. The product has been tested and produced in mass quantity for 5G specific wireless fronthaul data transport application by a Tier 1 Mobile Network Operator (MNO). With this new product, MNO is able to integrate the multichannel O-band DWDM capability into the existing optical fiber lines. And to some MNOs whose prime concern is to make the most economical and efficient use of fiber investment, the availability of O-band DWDM AWGs will be a welcoming news as laying additional fiber infrastructure is quite expensive.

Temperature-hardened and Low-drift Athermal AWGs for All Season Any Temperature
POINTek, Inc., a global leader and provider of high performance athermal AWGs (AAWGs) and optical module packaging services, announced the greater and popular acceptance of temperature hardened AWGs that are good for DWDM applications in the extreme temperature operating environment such as -40°C ~ 85°C. Conventional athermal AWGs are designed to support a total of 60pm or larger wavelength drift, which amounts to compensation of 0.5pm/°C shift within in the operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. In POINTek's low-drift high-performing AAWG which is based on a new IP-pending optical packaging technology capitalizing on previous PCT-registered athermalization patent, POINTek's refined and innovative packaging technique is fully utilized, allowing only 20pm or less wavelength-drift which is equivalent to merely 0.15pm/°C shift; hence, this high-performing AAWG can sufficiently withstand the industrial temperature operational range of -40°C ~ 85°C.
