Introduction to Photonics Alignment / Packaging
PI provides a great variety of innovative solutions for photonics packaging and alignment automation. Products range from 6D MicroMotion robots for industrial automation, through ultra-fast piezoelectric scanning modules to modular devices with manual control for laboratory test setups. Applications include automated angular alignment of collimated fibers or arrays, thin-film WDM add/drops, MEMS switches, planar MEMS cross-connects and multi-channel waveguides. Additional PI products are available for applications such as writing fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), fiber stretching, coarse alignment, beam switching, etc.
