Hi, Is it possible to use NOA63 to connect fibers such as FP1500URT with a connector such as 30126G2-1580 ? Thank you
cdolbashian  (posted 2023-11-16 04:12:28.0)
Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry. As this is a UV curing epoxy, requiring a certain amount of UV light for a full cure, you might not have full exposure at all points where the epoxy and fiber components are in contact. We would certainly recommend thermally curing or two-part epoxy for this type of application.
Jacky Lo  (posted 2023-09-30 18:52:42.55)
Please help to send the specification of NOA63 to me that includes the operating temperature range, glass transition temperature, curing conditions of UV curing and LED curing wavelengths, intensity and time. Thanks.
jdelia  (posted 2023-10-02 03:04:33.0)
Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The NOA63 can withstand temperatures of -15 to 60° C when used to bond glass optics. Moreover, in some instances, temperatures of up to 90° C are possible when the glue is utilized as a film or coating. The latter would depend upon the application. I have reached out to you directly to discuss your application further and provide some examples for the other requested specifications.

ksosnowski  (posted 2022-08-30 04:22:58.0)
Hello Hal, thanks for reaching out to Thorlabs. Typically the NOA UV-Curing adhesives we carry need to be fairly transparent so that they will cure properly when exposed to UV light. Our 353NDPK epoxy darkens during curing, however isn't a good alternative for blocking optics temporarily. Currently we don't have any UV adhesive products with a higher optical density to enable easier viewing, however I am adding this to our internal request forum so we can consider it in the future.

If NOA81 is heated to 75℃ (before UV curing), then goes back to room temperature later (and do UV curing) , will its optical performance (also its contact angle on a substrate) be affected? Thank you.
cdolbashian  (posted 2022-06-21 02:21:01.0)
Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry. Heating the liquid adhesive at 75C, depending on how long it is exposed to that temperature, may increase the viscosity. Heating the liquid and allowing it to come to room temperature will not affect its optical properties when it is UV cured.

azandani  (posted 2021-11-04 10:43:40.0)
Hello Koki, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Allow me to address your questions individually. The NOA63 can certainly adhere glass and diamond. As for any laser induced damage thresholds, we unfortunately have very limited information. It cannot withstand exposure to 125 C and we would very roughly estimate a damage threshold less than 100 W/cm^2.

YLohia  (posted 2021-05-04 11:16:58.0)
Norland's website recommends a curing time of 5-10 seconds at approximately 1/2" distance away for a 1/2" square cure area. This is when using Norland's UV Curing Gun, which has a 2.5 W/cm^2 output power density. Note that Thorlabs' CS20K2 UV-Curing Gun has a much higher 13 W/cm^2 output power density (when focusing with CS20A3 attachment), so users can either consider slightly less curing time or otherwise operating at a larger distance/lesser output power density for a similar cure area.

Hello, we will use NOA61 for gluing optics onto mounts, would it possible in some way to remove glued optical element from the mount?
YLohia  (posted 2020-10-15 11:34:05.0)
Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The simplest method for separating a lens bonded with Norland Optical Adhesive is to immerse the lens in a solvent combination made up of the following: methylene chloride, 100 parts by weight ‐methanol, 15 parts ‐ concentrated ammonia (26 Baumé or 29% NH ), 2 parts. A typical 1" diameter lens will separate easily before the full cure by an overnight soak in these solvents. A fully cured lens requires a longer soak because the adhesive is more crosslinked and slows the solvent penetrations. To separate some lenses, a slight thermoshock is necessary. Warm the lens up to 150°F and immerse it in the solvent combination while still warm. An alternate heating method is to place lenses in a vacuum coater and heating them under vacuum until they separate. Then you can remove adhesive from glass surfaces by immersing in the solvent combination. Protective goggles and gloves should be used when handling these chemicals.

Hi, Do you have instructions on how to use (cure) NOA61?
YLohia  (posted 2020-01-23 03:54:24.0)
Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The NOA61 is cured by ultraviolet light with maximum absorption within the range of 320-380 nm with peak sensitivity around 365nm. Typically for optical applications, a precure is used first. The precure time is of sufficient duration to set the bond and allow it to be moved without disturbing alignment. This is followed by a longer cure under UV light to obtain full cross linking and solvent resistance of the adhesive. For the precure, you may use the CS2010 at a low intensity setting for up to a minute. The final cure can be accomplished within a few minutes using our CS2010 curing system at full intensity. Please note that actual curing times change from application-to-application due to varying amounts of adhesives used, power density of the source, and materials being bonded.

nbayconich  (posted 2019-10-03 08:26:36.0)
Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. One possible solution is to use the NOA68 however the NOA86 provided by Norland would be the best option in terms of bonding plastic fiber to glass substrates, this isn't readily available on our website but can be purchased through Norland directly. No sublayer would be needed and the adhesive can be removed with acetone if it is still in liquid form. Once cured removal is more difficult but possible, I'll reach out to you with more information about adhesive removal. In terms of the NOA86 and NOA68 curing properties, NOA86 is formulated to bond fiber and is able to withstand exposure to 85C/85%Relative Humidity, the NOA68 will not. NOA86 is oxygen inhibited so it would need to be cured under a nitrogen atmosphere if exposed to air, the NOA68 is not oxygen inhibited.

Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The NOA61 will adhere to either metal equally well. Please be sure to expose all the adhesive to the UV light at the same time. If the glass is recessed into a metal holder, there is the possibility that shadowing may occur and cause stress to build up in the bond line.

YLohia  (posted 2019-09-03 04:55:01.0)
Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Tg for the NOA61 is 30 C. CTE = 220 x 10-6 inches/inches/C. This adhesive is made from a urethane related base material and behaves differently than epoxies and acrylates. It is more flexible and resilient, which makes it better able to handle the stress created by bonding substrates with different CTEs. The adhesive becomes a little bit softer above Tg.

Hello. Is there a minimum thickness for NOA61? I'm trying to find an adhesive that will give me a bonding layer of about 1 µm. Is that possible with this product?
llamb  (posted 2019-06-25 01:29:57.0)
Thank you for your feedback. Typical applications use a thickness of 1 to 50 mils (~25 µm to ~1 mm) as an adhesive layer. A thinner bond line will mean less bond strength, though a micron thickness has been successfully done before. I have reached out to you directly to discuss your application's needs further.

Hello, I wonder at which maximum temperature I can use components bonded by NOA63 after it has been cured via UV. In the data sheet I find a storage temperature (5-25°C), flash point (175°C) and decomposition temperature (> 300°C), but I assume those are valid for the not yet cured product, especially the storage and flash point temperature. (Or is there a risk of setting fire to the cured adhesive over 175°C?) Thanks in advance.
llamb  (posted 2019-02-20 01:35:33.0)
Thank you for your feedback. NOA63 has an operating temperature range from -15 to 60° C when used to bond glass optics, after having been cured. Temperatures to 90° C are possible when the adhesive is used as a thin film or coating, but this will depend on the application. I have reached out to you by email to discuss your application further.

Hello, Is there a way to order several bottles of NOA61 with a specific LOT number? For example, if you zoom in on the image, the product has a LOT number 289 written right beside the number 61. If so, we would like to buy a couple of NOA61 adhesives with LOT number 366. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I would like to glue two plastic optical fibre 1 mm diameter, which product do you recommend?
tfrisch  (posted 2018-01-26 01:12:59.0)
Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. I would not recommend using optically clear adhesive as a form of splicing plastic fibers. It may be that you could still use index matching gel to avoid air between fibers, but I would need to know what the index of refraction of the plastic is. Please reach out to us at TechSupport@Thorlabs.com to discuss the details of your fibers.

Hi, I am looking into gluing a waveplate (zero order quartz crystal) to a mirror (BB1-E02). I am interested in keeping high transmission and not induce significant birrefringence. I am looking into the NOA61, do you have any other recommendation? Thanks! Juan
tfrisch  (posted 2017-11-15 05:16:09.0)
Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Both the mirror coating and the waveplate's AR coating would be designed for glass-air interface, so putting them each in contact with another layer might adversely affect both coatings. I could instead recommend keeping an air gap as surface losses will be small if the waveplate is used near its design wavelength. I will reach out to you directly to discuss your needs.

For NOA61 please specify the units of measure for lambda in the optical properties tab (in the Cauchy formula). Also please provide a link to Norland for the curing schedule (this link worked for me https://www.norlandprod.com/adhesives/noa%2061.html).

Excellent collection of UV curable glues. can you tell me the thermo-optic coefficient for these adhesives? which i need for accurate analysis for one of my experiments.

If we will use NOA65 for gluing optics into kinematic mounts, would it possible in some way to remove this optical element from the mount? By heating/other treatment? Or will it stay bound forever? Would this removal process require strong force, i.e. is it possible to glue a thin 1 mm dichroic mirror and remove it later intact, if needed?
besembeson  (posted 2015-09-21 04:45:10.0)
Response from Bweh at Thorlabs USA: Depending on the amount of surface area epoxied and how long they have been bonded, it may not be possible to separate these. You can try soaking the parts in either methylene chloride or xylene bath for as long as necessary. Note that these solvents are hazardous so all proper safety precautions must be followed when using these chemicals.

Whats the Cauchy coefficients for NOA68? And how much thickness it will be after spin coated? Do you have spin coat vs thickness curve?
cdaly  (posted 2015-04-15 03:33:28.0)
Response from Chris at Thorlabs: I'm afraid we do not have any values for the Cauchy coefficients. The only data we have for the refractive index of NOA68 is the specification from Norland Optics which is typically 1.54 for the cured polymer. Unfortunately, we do not have any specifications in terms of the spin coating-thickness dependence either.

Regarding NOA61,I'm considering to purchase a CS2010. But, I'm concerning that the optical output power of CS2010 is compatible to NOA61. I can see that the recommended power is 2 mW. Could you confirm it compatibility or give any kind of instruction in using NOA61 with CS2010. Thanks.
jlow  (posted 2014-12-11 11:24:45.0)
Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: The recommended UV-curing intensity is >2mW/cm^2, which the CS2010 can provide easily. The actual intensity from the CS2010 will depend on the attachment you put in front and the current setting from the driver. One should also look at the application (e.g. size of components, cure time requirement) to determine the suitability of the CS2010. I will contact you directly to discuss more about this.
ladislav.chytka  (posted 2014-09-26 14:23:34.453)
In description of NOA63, you specify "excellent transmission in the UV range". We are considering using it for gluing a light guide for 200-400 nm. Could you provide us transmittance values for this region? Also, do you have some glue, that would be cured by light with wavelength outside the 200-400 nm interval? I suspect a transmittance drop near 365 nm as it is the curing wavelenght.
jlow  (posted 2014-09-29 03:18:45.0)
Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: The NOA63 transmission falls off quickly after 365nm. At 320nm, it has around 80% transmission.

jlow  (posted 2014-09-04 08:24:54.0)
Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: You can heat the cured adhesive to 60°C. I will send you a graph directly for the service temperature with the coefficient of thermal expansion.

jlow  (posted 2013-06-04 10:20:00.0)
Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: The NOA61 epoxy must be cured by UV-light.

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: You can find the datasheet at http://www.thorlabs.com/Thorcat/0900/NOA61-SpecSheet.pdf. The CS2010 curing system should have come with a German power cable for you. I will get in contact with you directly to send you a German power cable.

It would be nice to have data on the index of refraction as a function of wavelength, can you please post the Sellmeier coefficients for these epoxies. If the coefficients are not avialable please provide a few data points (index & wavelength) from which we can estimate the optical disperson.
jens  (posted 2009-05-15 15:09:20.0)
A response from Jens at Thorlabs: The refractive index for the cured NOA61, NOA63, NOA81 polymer , is 1.56, NOA65 is 1.524, NOA68 is 1.54, NBA107 is 1.51. These are typical values as provided by Norland Products Inc. If you need additional data over a wavelenght range please let me know. Thanks

In response to the last post, we have double checked and yes, the bottle has a net weight of 1 oz., so there is 28 g of adhesive in each bottle.
