Adhesives for Fiber Optics Assembly: Making the Right Choice

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Using the proper adhesive not only saves time and expense, but also can improve reliability and performance.

Edward A.Y. Fisher

Fast becoming pivotal to the assembly of fiber optic components, adhesives perform well on glass, metal, ceramic and most plastic substrates, provide excellent chemical and solvent resistance, act as an electrical insulator, and may be used in high-strength optical alignment applications. Adhesives can bond dissimilar materials quickly and efficiently, enabling the production of many optical components that would be impossible to make using mechanical fastening methods. Adhesive technology has always played a role in fiber optics assembly, bonding optical connectors, fibers, lenses,...Read full article
