Example: PLC Chip-to-Fiber Alignment
Mechanical Setup：Mount the fiber array and chip on the platform using fixtures. Align each component’s plane and height, ensuring coplanarity and initial positioning accuracy. Fine-tune all axes to minimize angular and positional offsets for optimal coupling.
Initial Optical Alignment：Perform coarse optical alignment along X and Y axes. Use live imaging (overlay of oblique and coaxial views) to assess misalignment. Adjust until the input/output ports of the fiber and chip are well aligned and focused. Light coupling signal appears on the CCD once aligned.
Visual Monitoring：With low-power light coupled into the device, monitor the near-field output (typ. 100–200 μm distance) to evaluate alignment. Adjust rotational angle and height as needed. Use image-based alignment and feedback to iteratively optimize coupling. Fine adjustments are made in ≤10 μm steps.
Signal Optimization：Inject signal light and monitor output power to perform fine tuning. Ensure coupling loss is minimized. Complete alignment of each channel one by one.
UV Curing：Once alignment is complete, apply UV curing to fix the device.
Device Removal：Release the fixture, remove the bonded device, and proceed to testing.
