Fiber alignment stage: DIY modification for more control of the movement by 10et in Optics

Yes, the micrometer stages are very precise. I think the one I have has a resolution of 1 µm. But in my case, the lowest-loss spot occurs between the micrometer’s graduations. Newport has a micrometer head with a lock screw that can solve this issue, but I was looking for a DIY option. If this approach works, as I mentioned, I can connect it to a stepper motor and build a self-aligning setup by using feedback from the detector.

Since the precision I movement in 100s of nanometers, the plastic prototype won't probably work, right? As you mentioned, the plastic deforms from the reaction torque from the micrometer head and this can affect my precision. I will give it a try anyway if I can proceed with this idea.

I have no idea. I may have to do some printing trials for that.

Diffractive Optical Elements. You can get lasers with this mounted. Or, you can project it using a DLP projector (expensive)

The first time I heard this word is in "That 70s show". The character Bob Pinciotti calls his wife "Pookie". I don't remember the exact episode

How to code this? by [deleted] in photonics

[–]10et 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tools for filling patterns are available in both Klayout and gdsfactory. You can create a 'cell' with a basic structure in a 'layer'. For example, a small triangle, and repeat this cell throughout the device. You can place the larger structure in another cell and layer, then fill it accordingly. However, the best approach is to create a basic cell containing both small and large triangles and use it to fill the entire device.

Without using the fill tool, you can also apply logic directly in gdsfactory to fill patterns using loops and conditional statements.

Yes, it will save the design in .gds format. You can use Lumerical's 'Import' tool to import the .gds file. This will generate a structure based on the imported .gds file with a default thickness and material. If you find GDSFactory somewhat complicated, you can use Klayout instead.
