Innovative Slit Assembly Design for Enhanced Performance and Durability
This document outlines the specifications for the innovative slit assembly (Slit-assy.330) designed by Robin Lafever. Key features include 60-degree Vee grooves a la Durham, a new pitch of 240 µm, and an optical radius of 330 mm. The assembly incorporates a 3-fiber inter-pad gap and material selection to be determined. It highlights candidates for pad mounts and compares hard-stop features versus replaceable mounts. The design emphasizes a shorter groove bonding length, targeting 8-10 mm for improved efficiency.
