86-755-82924037Quartz Substrates - A2 serve as critical components in optical communication technologies, perfectly matched in thermal expansion to optical fibers, ensuring seamless integration. These substrates are celebrated for their exceptional dimensional precision, robustness, and outstanding resistance to environmental challenges. They find extensive applications across various optical devices, including optical couplers, ribbon fiber welding protectors, and high-power lasers. The production process begins with the meticulous cleaning of the quartz master tube, followed by its strategic placement above a high-temperature graphite furnace. Protected by inert gas, the tube undergoes continuous traction, drawing, and cutting, culminating in the grinding into a semi-round A2 structure. This sophisticated manufacturing sequence facilitates the mass production of A2 quartz substrates, characterized by their clear surfaces, superior performance, and high dimensional accuracy, all while enhancing component quality and reducing costs.
