San Diego, Calif., 5-7 March, 2019 --- OFC, the world’s largest optical networking and communication event opened and attracted more than 700 exhibitors and 15,000 attendees. This year AFR and its subsidiary, Vlink, showcased a variety of product portfolios including our components for data centers and WDM networks. Our EDFA portfolio attracted the attention of lots of visitors to our display site.

CWDM4/LAN WDM4 Assembly

Vlink’s CWDM4/LAN WDM4 Assembly easily meets the Cisco wiggles test requirements when subjected to strong bending force and damp heat for 2,000 hours, with 0.3 mm fiber length tolerance. With vast manufacturing experience in this type of technology, mass production on both TFF and AWG solutions are available.

90° Fiber Bending Fiber Array

With its ownership of nine related patents, Vlink’s 90° Fiber Bending Fiber Array, keeps bending loss to a minimum while assuring high reliability. Bending loss is less than 0.1 dB, coupling loss is less than 0.35 dB, and typical pitch error is less than 0.5 μm. The new height 3.0 mm is also available.

Ultra-Compact MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator

AFR's MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator achieves a significant size and response time of less than 2 ms along with lower wavelength dependent loss, making it well-suited for transient suppression in EDFA optical amplifiers. SM, MM, PM fibers are all available.

Active Components Packaging

AFR can provide a wide variety of state-of-the-art optical assemblies and modules. Packaging types include Butterfly, DIL, TO-CAN, Coaxial photo-electronics devices and more. AFR’s unique techniques and in-house expertise guarantees outstanding stability for all packaged devices.

Metalized Fiber Cable

AFR’s Metalized Fiber Cables are hermetically sealed to provide an environment for highly reliable connections for all optical devices.
