Aspects for active alignment for assembling optical imaging systems are described herein. As an example, the aspects may include aligning an optical detector with an optical component. The optical component is configured to alter a direction of one or more light beams emitted from an image displayed by an optical engine. The aspects may further include detecting, by the optical detector, a virtual image generated by the one or more light beams emitted by the optical engine; and adjusting, by a multi-axis controller, an optical path of the one or more light beams based on one or more parameters of the virtual image collected by the optical detector.

The method comprises the steps of A) equipping the end of the fiber with an added microstructure (MS) arranged so as to provide support on a surrounding structure forming a support (SE) distinct from the photonic device (PIL) and to prevent any contact with a sensitive surface (FA) of the photonic device, B) optimally aligning, in position and in angle, the fiber end with the sensitive surface, and C) exerting on the microstructure and/or the optical fiber a bearing pressure (P) against the surrounding support structure, maintaining an optimal spacing distance (D) and alignment between the fiber end and the sensitive surface.

An optical cable includes an optical fiber having a fiber core and a fiber cladding, and an output coupling plug at an output coupling-side fiber end of the optical fiber. The output coupling plug comprises at least one cladding light sensor arranged behind the output coupling-side fiber end and configured to measure cladding light that exits frontally from the fiber cladding at the output coupling-side fiber end.

Aspects described herein include a method including arranging a laser die on a substrate. The laser die has multiple channels that are arranged with a first planar arrangement proximate to a facet of the laser die. The substrate is arranged on a housing component. The method further includes aligning a single lens to the facet, and aligning a multicore optical fiber to the laser die through the single lens. The multicore optical fiber has a plurality of optical cores that are arranged with a second planar arrangement. Aligning the multicore optical fiber to the laser die includes attaching the multicore optical fiber to the housing component and rotationally aligning the multicore optical fiber to align the second planar arrangement with the first planar arrangement.

A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) assembly that includes a PIC, and a light source mounted on a first carrier substrate, and optically coupled and aligned with the PIC. The first carrier substrate includes a wrap-around metal, that enables the first carrier substrate to be bonded electrically with the PIC using solder bumps, and wherein the wrap-around metal enables the first carrier substrate to be electrically controlled by an external device for facilitating alignment and optical coupling process with the PIC.

An optoelectronic package and a method of manufacturing an optoelectronic package are provided. The optoelectronic package includes a carrier. The carrier includes a first region and a second region. The first region is configured to supply power to a processing unit disposed on the carrier. The second region is for accommodating at least one optoelectronic device electrically coupled to the processing unit.

Provided herein is an optical module including: an optical receptacle including a first lens and a second lens; a lens module including a lens unit facing the second lens of the optical receptacle; and an optical element configured to receive a beam emitted from the lens module or form a beam to be emitted to the lens module. A horizontal length and a vertical length of a cross-section of the first lens may differ from each other, and a horizontal length and a vertical length of a cross-section of the second lens may differ from each other.

Device and method are provided to align and bond a lens array to a PD array with high precision, which can implement aligning and bonding of the lens array automatically. A telescopic rod of the stepping actuator is adjusted until photosensitive areas of the PD array form a clear image on the image acquisition CCD through the lens array, an adjusted distance h1 of the telescopic rod is recorded, and a position coordinate (xn, yn) of center of each circular photosensitive area in the image may be obtained, and a slope k1 of a line connecting the centers of the photosensitive areas is calculated. The telescopic rod is adjusted again, and a slope k2 of a line connecting the centers of the apertures of the lens array is calculated. Based on calculated values Δxn, Δyn, arctan(k1)-arctan(k2), the high-resolution adjustment stage is adjusted to adjust position of the lens array.

A system for injection of a useful radiation beam into an optical fiber is disclosed including a secondary radiation source, which is connected to the optical fiber such that a secondary radiation beam leaves by an end of the optical fiber. A variable deviation device, for deviating the useful radiation beam towards the end of the optical fiber, an optical detection assembly, identifying the direction of the secondary radiation beam, and an injection controller, for controlling the variable deviation device depending on the direction of the secondary radiation beam. The secondary radiation may be made up by an amplified spontaneous emission from a laser amplifier which is used for amplifying the useful radiation. The injection system may advantageously be used in a terminal for optical telecommunication by laser signals.
