Technology Update: Real-World Fiber Alignment Breakthrough

Technology update. A few weeks ago, we demonstrated how our alignment algorithm performs on simulation. Now we have applied it to our micro actuator to perform a real case fiber-to-fiber alignment. The progression of dots in the video shows the transmitted power during the active alignment routine for one fiber. The experiment is repeated four […]
