    How to solve the problem of adhesive delamination inside the fiber optic array FA slot

    Based on this study, it can be concluded that the delamination problem can be minimized by selecting a UV-curable adhesive having the same refractive index of the cladding material. Abstract—The common approach to attaching a large number of fibers to a guided-wave device is to fabricate a linear array using V-grooves. Interfacial delaminations at the adhesive fiber interfaces are. Those are problems anyone can identify with visual inspection and learn from the inspection how to do it correctly in the future. Fiber optic connector manufacturers have been working for over 30 years to make terminating optical fiber easier, faster and cheaper, and they have done a really good. One approach to preventing delamination involves enhancing the adhesion between the fibers and the matrix.
