Quartz Substrates - A5

Name: Quartz Substrates - A5
Brand: Shenzhen Solar Valley Scitech Development Co., Ltd.

Quartz Substrates - A5 are essential components tailored for the optical communication sector, perfectly aligned with the thermal expansion characteristics of optical fibers to ensure seamless integration and functionality. Renowned for their precise dimensional accuracy, exceptional hardness, and robust environmental resistance, A5 substrates are extensively utilized in a variety of optical devices, including optical couplers, ribbon fiber fusion splicers, and high-power lasers. The production process commences with the prefabrication of a quartz rod, which undergoes a meticulous cleaning before being secured above a high-temperature graphite furnace. Protected by an inert gas atmosphere, the rod is subjected to continuous traction, drawing, cutting, and additional operations, facilitating the swift creation of A5 quartz substrates. These substrates are distinguished by their transparent surfaces and high dimensional precision, rendering them ideal for large-scale production. This efficient manufacturing technique not only elevates the quality of the components but also significantly curtails production costs, making A5 substrates a cost-effective and high-quality choice for the optical communication industry.

Features of Quartz Substrates - A5

Material: High-purity fused quartz, with a silicon dioxide (SiO2) content of >99.9%. Softening point >1650°C, high strength, high wear resistance, and high light transmittance.
Properties: The quartz substrate is produced through high-temperature melting and drawing, resulting in a transparent surface. This process eliminates localized surface microcracks and optical fiber positioning groove surface imperfections. The quartz substrate has high strength, making it resistant to cracking or shattering when fixing optical fibers with adhesive. It achieves a high pass rate for adhesive bonding.
Environmental Performance: The water, electricity, and gas composite drawing production process does not use any chemical solvents. The material and production process do not contain or involve substances controlled by the EU RoHS directive and Reach regulations.
Quality Stability: Through CNC mainframe, feeding mechanism, traction mechanism, and laser rangefinder closed-loop control, the quartz substrate with the required diameter and groove width is precisely drawn. The consistency in accuracy is very high, and the shape of the optical fiber positioning groove is accurate, ensuring outstanding production stability.
