ACTIVE ALIGNMENT MACHINE
An active alignment machine includes a base, a first pillar, a second pillar, a distribution module, a first alignment module, a second alignment module and a third alignment module. The first pillar has a first pillar top surface. The second pillar has a second pillar top surface. The first pillar top surface and the second pillar top surface cooperatively support plural assembling specifications. The distribution module is installed on the base and arranged between the first pillar and the second pillar. The first alignment module, the second alignment module and third alignment module are replaceable to be assembled with or dissembled from the first pillar top surface and the second pillar top surface. The first alignment module, the second alignment module and third alignment module work with the distribution module to perform the active alignment on a first-type product, a second-type product and a third-type product, respectively.
Galvanometer motor mounting structure
Disclosed is a mounting structure for a galvanometer motor. The mounting structure includes a motor apparatus directly mounted on a platform, wherein at least one connection through hole running vertically from a top portion of a housing and extending to a bottom portion of the housing is molded on the housing, and the housing is provided with a connection post, wherein the connection post runs through the connection through hole and is fixedly connected to the platform. In this way, an additional mount is not needed, such that mounting cost is reduced, and mounting is accurate and reliable.
Automated UV Calibration, Motorized Optical Target and Automatic Surface Finder for Optical Alignment and Assembly Robot
In an optical components automatic alignment robot, a motorized target moves closer or further from a digital camera being tested or assembled. A light sensor is used to automatically calibrate an ultraviolet (UV) or other light source used for curing adhesive. An automatic surface finder is used to accurately and repeatably find a surface on which adhesive is to be dispensed.

OPTICAL SYSTEM WITH AT LEAST ONE ALIGNED OPTICAL CELL AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
The optical system includes a base having a groove and an adjacent slot therein. The system also includes at least one optical cell slidably alignable along the groove, and at least one clamp comprising a lower end and an upper end. The lower end is slidably alignable along the slot and is secured at a set location so that the upper end secures the at least one optical cell along the groove. The slot may extend parallel to the groove. The clamp may include at least one preloaded fastener arrangement securing the lower end of the clamp to the base. The preloaded fastener may include a bolt, a spring biasing the bolt, and a threaded backing plate within the slot and receiving the bolt.
ACTIVE ALIGNMENT FOR ASSEMBLING OPTICAL DEVICES
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.
OPTICAL SYSTEM AND LITHOGRAPHY APPARATUS
An optical system for lithography apparatus comprises a movable element and a functional element having a first and second portions. The optical element is designed as an optical element or as a reference structure. The first portion is fastened to the movable element by a joining mechanism along a fastening plane. The second portion comprises a functional surface. The functional element comprises a decoupling device for decoupling by deformation the first portion from the second portion. The decoupling device is formed by a narrowing of the functional element. The narrowing is located laterally outside a region of the functional surface. The functional surface is a measurement surface which is suitable for acquisition for the purposes of positioning and/or orientating the movable element.

PLENOPTIC CAMERA MEASUREMENT AND CALIBRATION OF HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAYS
A method for measuring performance of a head-mounted display module, the method including arranging the head-mounted display module relative to a plenoptic camera assembly so that an exit pupil of the head-mounted display module coincides with a pupil of the plenoptic camera assembly; emitting light from the head-mounted display module while the head-mounted display module is arranged relative to the plenoptic camera assembly; filtering the light at the exit pupil of the head-mounted display module; acquiring, with the plenoptic camera assembly, one or more light field images projected from the head-mounted display module with the filtered light; and determining information about the performance of the head-mounted display module based on acquired light field image.
Direct Glue Compact Two Dimensional Fiber Launcher Assembly
A method for assembling a two-dimensional fiber array launcher assembly. The method includes providing an alignment structure having a two-dimensional alignment plate with holes at one end and a two-dimensional beam shaper with micro-lenses at an opposite end. An endcap having a fiber attached thereto is systematically positioned in each hole, and is aligned with one of the micro-lenses with a high precision tolerance. The aligned endcap is then secured in the hole using a curable glue. This process is continued until all of the holes have aligned endcaps. If one of the endcaps is mis-aligned or becomes damaged, the glue can be heated and the endcap realigned or replaced.
