Automatic Inspection of Optical Switch

摘要

In recent years, the requirement of communication bandwidth increases rapidly. The optical-fiber communications industry will be the vigorous new industry in the future. The optical switch component plays an extremely important role in the optical-fiber communications. Most of the optical communication components are, however, aligned and assembled manually. They are unable to mass product automatically. For this reason, this article will introduce the latest research of the optical switch automation assembly system and design the mechanical type Fiber-To-Fiber optical switch. By the micro three-dimension measurement and CCD image processing alignment techniques, we will develop automatic coupling of optical fiber and assembly technique to fabricate the optical switch conforming to the international Bellcore testing standards.
