The new F 712.PM1 optical power meter from PI (Physik Instrumente) supports the optimal alignment of SiP components (e.g., waveguides/diodes) to peripherals (e.g., glass fibers). The transmitted light power characterizes the accuracy of the positioning. This plays a decisive role both in the functional testing of optical devices on silicon photonic wafers (wafer probing) and in the test and packaging of integrated photonic circuits (PICs). Read more
