Opto-Mechanical Alignment and Assembly of 2D-Array Components

Abstract

Free space optical interconnection systems require such elements as fiber input array, microlens arrays, bulk optics and bi-stable elements like self-electrooptic effect devices (SEEDS). In this talk, we will present the opto-mechanical challenges that are presented during design and fabrication of fiber input array, and alignment and attachment of microlens arrays to fiber bundle and to the SEED array devices.
