Alignment System for Photonics Arrays and Fiber Optics Components is Cost Optimized - See a live Demo at Photonics West, January 28 - 30
Summary
Ultra-compact, high-speed alignment system for industrial PIC test & assembly, new from PI AUBURN, Mass., Jan. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PIs new F-141 photonics alignment system provides high throughput with motion in 4 and 6 degrees of freedom for industrial test and assembly of photonic integrated circuits (PIC). This ultra-compact precision alignment system fits inside a space of ~5x7x4 inches (WxLxH) while providing 40mm of XYZ travel and 12 degrees of rotation around the optical axis, ideal for array alignment. Direct drive motors provide high acceleration, speed, and resolution, along with excellent lifetime. Shortest First-Light Detection and Signal Optimization Times in the Industry PI proprietary alignment algorithms provide unparalleled performance with the shortest first-light detection and signal optimization times in the industry -- up to two orders of magnitude faster than conventional methods. The use of ultra-low noise electronics, PWM amplifiers, and onboard integrated 24-bit analog inputs for the high-bandwidth optical power meter enable repeatable and stable optical signal coupling in a variety of environments.
