Photonics Array Alignment: Precision Active and Passive Techniques for High-Throughput PIC Production
In this post, we explore the evolution of photonics alignment - from early manual single-fiber setups to today's fully automated FAU (Fiber Array Unit) alignment systems.
How LiDAR Is Paving the Way for Industry 4.0
LiDAR doesn't typically appear on disruptive Industry 4.0 technologies lists, but it may serve a foundational role in preparing facilities for this transition. Here's a closer look.
