1. Introduction of the fiber V-groove array

The fiber V groove array is to use a v groove to install one fiber strand, a bunch of fiber or a ribbon fiber on the array substrate. The uncoated bare part of the fiber is placed in the v groove, pressurized by the pressurizer component, and bonded by adhesive. At the front end, the fiber is precisely positioned and can be connected to PLC or silicon optical chip.

The optical fiber v groove array can also be used to transmit images directly. The end faces of many optical fibers are arranged into the required geometric shapes in a certain order to form the V groove fiber. The fiber positions at both ends of the array correspond to each other. One fiber in the array is equivalent to a pixel. And the optical image at the one end of the fiber V-groove array will be reproduced at the other end. This principle is applied in all kinds of medical optical fiber endoscopes.
