Metallized Lensed Fiber is first coated with a layer of nickel to provide superior adhesion and a stable soldering base. The fiber is then plated with an overcoat layer of gold to provide resistance to oxidization. Also using different fine lens tip shaping techniques, the surface is treated by planar or spherical finishing, optionally the tip was coated with thin film layer. The result is a strong, uniform coating capable of handling the rigors of soldering and hermetic sealing.

Photonstream metallized fibers are well suited for use in assemblies that must conform to Telcordia requirements. If required,  our metallized fibers can be manufactured with masked ends. Photonstream metallized fibers are available with Single mode, Multi mode, PM fibers.
