​

• 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
