Automated high-speed alignment engine selected as awards finalist
The solution, for when alignment speed is critical and accuracy needs to be at the nanoscale, for projects from planar testing to packaging, comes from PI, the FMPA. The FMPA Fast Multichannel Photonics Alignment system is a 2017 PIC Awards finalist, which rewards excellence, innovation, and success in the worldwide PIC industry.
Voting is open until 21st February, with the winners of this award to be announced on 7th March at the PIC International Conference in Brussels, Belgium. Already a winner of R&D’s Top 100 most significant products of the year in 2016, the FMPA was recently showcased at Photonics West 2017 in San Francisco.
The SiP Solution
The FMPA Fast Multichannel Photonics Alignment Engine is an advanced alignment system based on a highly specialised digital motion controller with embedded advanced alignment and tracking functionality and a hybrid precision scanning and tracking mechanism combining the advantages of piezoelectric on servo-motorised drives.
It addresses the market need for fast, parallel, nanoscale-accurate, multi-degree-of-freedom global optical alignment optimisation required in key SiP production steps from planar test to packaging.
