Manufacturing & Testing
From optical design
to a finished component.
How your configuration moves through production, optical testing and packaging.
Standard products and custom configurations follow the confirmed optical and mechanical requirements. The manufacturing route and test sequence depend on the device family, fiber, power class and package.
Subject to materials, scheduling and testing.
Production workflow
The work behind the component.
From the conditions you provide to the configuration prepared for shipment.
- 01
Configuration & materials
Engineering reviews the application and known requirements, including wavelength, power, fiber interfaces and package. Non-standard items and material availability are evaluated before the configuration is finalized.
- 02
Component assembly
Assembly follows the selected device architecture and confirmed fiber and package requirements. The process route varies between isolators, circulators, fused devices and pump combiners.
- 03
Optical testing
Applicable optical characteristics are checked against the selected specification. Test wavelength, port direction, fiber condition and operating power are relevant to the result.
- 04
Packaging & shipment
The order configuration includes pigtail and connector protection, identification, documentation and delivery requirements.
Testing in the production route
Optical measurements for the reviewed configuration.
Different devices require different checks. The selected model specification defines which optical parameters and test conditions apply.
- Optical path
- Loss, isolation or routing characteristics, as applicable.
- Fiber & polarization
- Fiber interfaces and PM requirements for the selected configuration.
- Power & package
- Operating conditions, thermal requirements and mechanical details requiring engineering review.
Packaging & handling
Packaging for finished assemblies.
Packaging is part of the shipment review: protect the component, fiber leads and connectors, and agree on the identification and documents required.
Discuss your configuration
Application & configuration review.
Engineering review can begin with the application and available parameters. Any remaining details are clarified during the review.
