As part of Semicon 09 within the Dutch NXTGEN Hightech program, we are working on optimizing the alignment of optical fibers in fiber arrays, achieving sub-micron precision through an innovative micro-electromechanical system (MEMS). This system enables simultaneous core-based alignment of each optical fiber, making MicroAlign the only company worldwide capable of this level of accuracy.
Recent progress and achievements:
⏺️ Developed and operationalized the 250 µm pitch alignment tool
⏺️ Produced the first lab versions of fiber arrays with 12 channels with ±100nm pitch accuracy
⏺️ Optimized actuator technology for enhanced alignment precision
⏺️ Established a strong foundation for supporting demanding applications like photonic and quantum computing.
