Alter Technology UK offers a standard Telcordia compliant platform for packaging and fiber coupling optoelectronic devices into 14-pin Butterfly package. This standard platform incorporates a Thermistor, Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC) and back-facet photodiode monitor. A full flux and organic free process is used to avoid any contamination that may compromise the delicate optical surfaces.  A fully hermetic seal casing in an inert gas atmospheres offers an increased lifetime of the optoelectronic device. A laser-welded fiber attach process is used to provide a robust and reliable attachment. This standard platform has undergone extensive environmental testing for demanding Telcordia standards.

Alter Technology UK  the standard platform provides several key benefits;

• Avoids Design and Development NRE charges.
• Utilises Telcordia/Space compliant processes and materials.
• Enables faster time to market by utilising off-the-shelf components and avoiding key technical pitfalls.
• Provides competitive unit prices based on automated assembly processes and utilising economies of scales for purchasing materials.

ALTER UK, standard fibre coupled butterfly package platform has the following features;

• Wide range of packages including 14-pin butterfly packages and TO-cans.
