EXFO intros bonding option

Fiber Optics Weekly Update, Sept 13, 2002

EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering announced the availability of a bonding option, ProBond, for the ProAlign 5000 component assembly workstation. The ProAlign 5000 workstation is EXFO's new, fully integrated system for active alignment and assembly of photonics components. The new option involves automatically dispensing a controlled amount of adhesive, then curing it with light.

The ProAlign 5000/ProBond combination is the first system to ensure repeatability in the bonding and curing part of the component assembly process. Nonrepeatability is one of the main contributors to prolonged R&D phases and low-yield manufacturing. The new bonding option increases repeatability which, in turn, shortens the R&D phase and increases yield and throughput, while providing for higher quality and performance of advanced optical components including planar lightwave circuits (PLCs), switches and transceivers.
