The MIDAS Metalization System is the industry-leading solution for producing single or multi-layer symmetrical metal coatings on optical fibers. Whether applied to ends, mid-spans, or windows, these coatings ensure optimal performance in hermetically sealed opto-electric packages. The system also supports radially symmetrical material stacks on cylindrical rod or tube components, ensuring unmatched versatility.
Engineered with a compact cleanroom footprint, the MIDAS system integrates an advanced load-lock design and low-energy plasma pre-cleaning. This process guarantees superior adhesion by removing residual hydrocarbon and water vapor contamination before coating.
At the heart of the MIDAS system is an innovative coating chamber, featuring a sophisticated array of sputter cathodes that ensure the uniform distribution of metal and multi-layer coatings.
The MIDAS Metalization System supports diverse applications, including:
Coating optical fibers of any geometry
Single and ribbon fiber coating
Coating mid-span windows, connectorized or jacketed components
Fiber termini, fanouts, breakouts, and patch cords
DTS, FBGs, optical isolators, and filters
Waveguides, image conduits, and light guides
Radial coatings for rod and tube exteriors
Performance Metrics:
The MIDAS system is designed to meet and exceed the highest industry standards, including Bellcore/Telcordia and MIL-STD-883. From unmatched precision to cost-effective operations, it delivers everything enterprises demand for modern fiber metalization.
