Precision in fiber optics assembly

In the latest edition of the german spcialized magazine “Mikroproduktion”, we have published an exciting technical article in which we take a deep dive into the topic of fiber optics assembly and the importance of silicon photonics (SiPho) and photonic integrated circuits (PICs). These technologies are crucial for modern telecommunication and data applications as well as for future-oriented fields such as quantum technology.

Why precision in fiber optics assembly is so important

The requirements for precision in fiber optics assembly are immense, as even the smallest deviations can affect performance. Our new generation of Fiberbeast Gen 2 machines has been developed to meet these challenges. With its advanced technology, it ensures that every component is precisely positioned and mounted, resulting in significantly increased light transmission efficiency.

The “Fiberbeast Gen 2”: Innovation in three core areas

Our engineers have developed the “Fiberbeast Gen 2” in three main disciplines: Actuators, Sensors and Operability. By using collaborative micromanipulators and state-of-the-art sensors, the machine can detect and adjust even the smallest movements and deviations in the nanometer range. The result is maximum precision, which is essential for applications in telecommunications and quantum technology in particular.

Modularity for adaptability and cost efficiency

The “Fiberbeast Gen 2” is characterized by a modular architecture that allows the machine to be flexibly adapted to a wide range of requirements and reduce operating costs. This flexibility ensures that the machine not only serves as an assembly and test platform, but is also suitable for applications such as lidar systems, lasers and medical endoscopes.
