Micro-optics for PICs…with Advanced Optomechanical Features

Micro-optics and microlenses have become widely a standard and off-the-shelf components are available for applications based on PICs, optical fibers, APDs, laser diodes and VCSELs. In order to keep optical losses at bay, packaging and assembly of micro-optics with sources and detectors require extremely high precision. Presented are advanced mechanical and micro-optical features that are integrated with microlenses and which facilitate the assembly, shorten the BOM and allow for more compact and smaller form factors. Along with the assembly features, we provide in-house design capabilities to help clients with their challenging designs.
