Optics and Photonics
precision components for optical systems and photonics assembly
The trend towards faster data transmission, expansion of telecom networks and the ubiquity of consumer electronics pushes the photonics industry to further miniaturization. Therefore, extremely small and complex components have to be made and assembled. The individual parts consist of even smaller structures down to nanometer range, often created or inspected by advanced optical systems.
The key challenge for photonics and optics applications is to achieve highest precision in position measurement and control. This ensures correct handling and assembly of e.g. fiber arrays and allows for reliable alignment of lenses or mirrors in optical inspection systems. attocube’s nanopositioners and the IDS3010 interferomter offer the required precision and the modular design allows for compact and reliable multi-axis solution.
