Optical device alignment system

Building on its reputation for manufacturing precision positioners, Elliot Scientific also supplies complete alignment systems for use in the assembly and test of photonic components. These systems incorporate positioning modules that were originally designed by Martock Design, who are now a subsidiary of Elliot Scientific. Ongoing development by Elliot Scientific has extended the performance of the positioners and has kept the Elliot/Martock brand at the forefront of critical alignment applications. • Linear, rotational and true arc movement/positioning • Manual, motorised or piezo actuators • Optional automated control • Cost effective custom configurations A number of applications have been successfully addressed including alignment of single and dual ended waveguide devices such as laser diode to single-mode fibre, or input and output pigtailing of SOAs (semiconductor optical amplifiers), couplers, splitters and WDMs. Systems can be configured to match specific customer requirements using precision positioning modules from the Elliot/Martock product range. • Fibre-to-laser diode • Fibre-to-waveguide • Fibre-to-fibre coupling • Ribbon cable-to-device • SOA to fibre • Fibre array to V-groove • Polarisation Maintaining fibre • Fibre collimators
