Project: New assembly method for welding of fibers to Photonic Integrated Circuits
| Acronym | PICWeld (Reference Number: 11324) |
| Duration | 01/10/2017 |
| Project Topic | In this project an assembly method is developed to attach a glass fiber to a photonic Integrated circuit (PIC) on fused silica glass. The assembly method uses a laser welding process and strain relief method that can attach a polarization maintaining fiber that transports visible light to a PIC with waveguides of silicon nitride on a fused silica glass substrate. Furthermore the method is developed to work in an industrial assembly machine capable of scaling to larger volumes. |
