Coupling of optical power from high-density silicon waveguides to silica optical fibers for
signal routing can incur high losses and often requires complex end-face preparation …

The low throughput of atomic force microscopy (AFM) is the main drawback in its large-scale
deployment in industrial metrology. A promising solution would be based on the …

We report a compact, scalable, and high-performance superconducting nanowire single-
photon detector (SNSPD) array by using a multichannel optical fiber array-coupled …

Tube laser forming on a small diameter tube can be used as a high precision actuator to
permanently align small (optical) components. Applications, such as the alignment of optical …

A micro-actuator for precision alignment, using laser forming of a tube, is presented. Such an
actuator can be used to align components after assembly. The positioning of an optical fiber …

Optical components like resonator or waveguides often have stringent requirements in term
of positioning accuracy during packaging. While this can be done routinely in a laboratory …

In this paper, we present a method to align optical fibers within 0.2 μm of the optimal
position, using tube laser bending and in situ measuring of the coupling efficiency. For near …

The authors propose a 2× 2 asymmetric adiabatic coupler (AAC) indium phosphide (InP)

Laser forming is a method to deform a material by controlled local laser heating. In
combination with a dedicated actuator topology, those deformations can be used for high …

We designed and realized two different mechanical devices for aligning standard lensed
telecom fibers to indium-phosphide-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The first …
