Swept-Wavelength Laser Measurement Systems Enable Real-Time Monitoring and In-Process Control During Optical Manufacturing

摘要

High-speed and high-accuracy swept-wavelength laser systems are demonstrated to enable in-process characterization, control, and testing for optical manufacturing. Real-time amplitude and dispersion spectral measurements of optical components and modules are very useful not only for fast device characterization, but also real-time monitoring during device fabrication to enhance process flexibility and device performance, as well as optimization of final device packaging process. This high-speed measurement platform opens the door to a variety of real-time applications in optical development and manufacturing, as well as the related field of optical sensing.
