Parallelism in Photonics Alignment Automation: Key to Economic Test and Packaging
om H-811 hexapod and a P-616 Nanocube to align two fiber arrays. The key to this application was the parallel execution of angular and transverse alignments. The Nanocube performed a transverse gradient [...] on a 100x100x100µm travel compact XYZ “Nanocube” nanopositioner, offering 25X the capture area of typical alignment hardware. In most applications, the Nanocubes are mounted on high-performance long-travel [...] rotational centerpoint to be placed very close the optical axis of the first array element. The Nanocube’s XY lock-on compensated for the small residual transverse runout due to imperfections in localizing
