The Waveguide Array to Fiber Transposer (WAFT) is a
combination of a Fiber Spacing Concentrator (FSC) and an
optical mode converter (OMC). WAFT is the must-have
silicon chip-to-fiber interface solution for edge coupling
configurations with a perfect pitch and mode size
matching.
Based on its ioNext glass PIC (Photonics Integrated
Circuits) platform, TEEM offers a full line of bare and
pigtailed WAFT products with various ports number,
output pitchs and output mode sizes.
