METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FAST, PASSIVE ALIGNMENT IN PHOTONICS ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111098 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FAST, PASSIVE ALIGNMENT IN PHOTONICS ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a method for aligning a lens structure in a cavity of a die using fiducials.
- Die includes a cavity and a die fiducial on the top surface.
- Lens structure is placed in the cavity with a lens fiducial on the front surface.
- Lens structure is moved in the cavity until the lens fiducial image is captured in an image processing system when the fiducials coincide in a plane orthogonal to the die's top surface.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in the manufacturing of optical devices, cameras, sensors, and other precision instruments that require accurate alignment of lens structures.
Problems Solved
This method solves the problem of aligning lens structures accurately within a cavity, ensuring optimal performance of optical systems.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in aligning lens structures - Enhanced performance of optical devices - Streamlined manufacturing process
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized in the production of cameras, medical imaging devices, telescopes, and other optical instruments, improving their quality and reliability.
Possible Prior Art
Prior methods of aligning lens structures may involve manual adjustments or complex alignment systems, which can be time-consuming and less precise compared to the method described in this disclosure.
Unanswered Questions
