Lidless fiber array is an array with no glass lid pressing on the fibers. As for lidless fiber array, its fibers majorly populate in the grooves and are covered with only epoxy. In terms of its application, sealed application enviroment is better for this type of V groove fiber array; A variant of lidless fiber array is lid-recessed fiber array, whose back part of fibers is the only area that is covered with lid.
