Alignment has been the very bottleneck for productivity in #siliconphotonics and photonic integrated circuits (PIC). With the FMPA (Fast Multichannel Photonics Alignment) algorithm developed by Scott Jordan and implemented in the unique motion and positioning solutions from PI (Physik Instrumente) Group, alignment ist reduced to a matter of a fraction of a second. It even works with Arrays (!) which makes the whole thing absolutely unique! Still in doubt? Just ask your local PI representative for a demo.
Did you know that the first digital gradient search optimization algorithm for the alignment of optical fibers and photonic devices was invented by our photonics expert Scott Jordan back in 1987? Since those early days, alignment solutions have evolved tremendously to enable the massive scale-up in the manufacturing and testing of novel photonics devices which are at the heart of quantum computing, virtual reality, LIDAR (light detection and ranging), and more.
