Quartz Substrates - A4

Name: Quartz Substrates - A4
Brand: Shenzhen Solar Valley Scitech Development Co., Ltd.

Quartz Substrates - A4 are indispensable in the realm of optical communication, designed to match the thermal expansion properties of optical fibers closely. These substrates stand out for their exceptional dimensional precision, robustness, and superior resistance to environmental factors, making them ideal for a wide range of optical applications, including optical couplers, ribbon fiber fusion splicers, and high-power laser devices. The manufacturing process starts with the prefabrication of a quartz rod, which, after thorough cleaning, is positioned above a high-temperature graphite furnace and subjected to a protected environment filled with inert gas. Through a series of continuous operations such as traction, drawing, and cutting, A4 quartz substrates are produced on a large scale, featuring transparent surfaces and high dimensional accuracy. This efficient production method not only ensures the high quality of the components but also significantly reduces costs, making A4 substrates a cost-effective solution for mass production in the optical communication industry.

Features of Quartz Substrates - A4

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.
