Narrow tip design specifically to enable compact “X” configuration PIC alignments with up to 4 fiber arrays converging on one substrate.

The NFAH holder is compatible with Luminos single fiber FH003 fiber holders to enable orthogonal single and mult-channel alignment configurations.

In-line configuration provides space and access for overhead microscopes and contact probes

Vertical and horizontal clamp arms provide ideal kinematic holding of arrays against alignment surfaces

Optimized for 1 – 16 fiber arrays

Clamping pressure is provided by miniature ball bearings

Clamping knobs are located on the ends of NFAH for ease of adjustment

Clamp arms are spring loaded to maintain position with adjustable clamp pressure

Clamp arm knobs are located on the end of the holder to keep the optical area clear

Clamping force on the Array is very precise yet allows array to be moved once mounted

Fiber #1 is located at rotation center of Luminos 6 Axis positioning stages

Slotted mounting holes allow adjustment of rotation center alignment to a specific fiber channel

Preload is applied to the array using 4mm OD precision ball bearings

Spring loaded side and top clamp arms provide top loading with easy access

Holds fiber arrays of typical size with 1 to 16 count

The holder mounts directly onto the standard mounting plate of Luminos Positioners
