Fiber Optic Component Mounting Blocks
Optical Detectors
Santec
Base Material: Aluminum alloy Surface Treatment: Black anodized Insert Material: Stainless steel / nickel-plated metal
This is a family of precision-machined optomechanical mounting blocks used to fix and align miniature fiber optic components such as collimators, fiber arrays and ferrules. The blocks are made of aluminum alloy with a black anodized finish to suppress stray-light reflection and improve wear resistance. The series includes several configurations: blocks with circular counterbored holes and top set screws for locking cylindrical collimator tubes, blocks with rectangular slots, and blocks fitted with square metal sleeves (stainless steel / nickel-plated) for receiving MT-type ferrules or fiber array endcaps. The flat square base provides a stable reference surface for adhesive bonding or screw mounting onto optical sub-assemblies, making these blocks ideal for compact photonic module packaging.

Santec
Insertion Loss (dB) U1: ≤0.5 (w/o Connectors) Insertion Loss (dB) U2: ≤0.5 (w/o Connectors) Insertion Loss (dB) U3: ≤0.5 (w/o Connectors)
Santec's Unidirectional Tap-Integrated Photo Detector (IPD-UD) is an optical power monitoring device consisting of individual tap-integrated photo detectors. The IPD is very compact and can be easily mounted on a PCB for system use. It delivers excellent optical properties, including a broad wavelength range covering the C- and L-band, low insertion loss, and high sensitivity. By integrating the tap and the photodetector into a single device, the IPD eliminates the need for a separate optical fiber coupler/splitter and photodetector, providing a simple, low-cost solution for optical power monitoring in DWDM and switching systems. Santec's Unidirectional Tap-Integrated Photo Detector is especially useful for amplifier systems.

Electro-optic deflectors (EODs) are optical devices used to steer or deflect light beams by applying an electric field to a specialized optical crystal. Unlike mechanical beam steering systems that rely on moving mirrors, electro-optic deflectors enable high-speed, non-mechanical beam control with exceptional precision and responsiveness. They are widely used in laser scanning, optical communications, microscopy, laser printing, spectroscopy, and scientific research, where rapid and accurate laser beam positioning is essential.
An infrared transmitter (IR transmitter) is a basic electronic component that sends invisible infrared light signals for short-range wireless control.
