Fabrication of one-dimensional optical fiber array using a new active-alignment technique

This paper presents a novel active-alignment technique to fabricate one-dimensional optical fiber array. The advantages of this technique are providing simple structure on silicon- based optoelctronic device and individually adjusting relative position error of fiber array and laser diode array. The way to adjust fiber displacement is applying electric force to pull the adhesive which used to fix fibers and microholders. Then the adhesive has adhesive force with fiber surface that bring fiber moving away from its original position. The method has to consider some issues including choosing the adhesive viscosity, controlling adhesive volume in the microholder, confirming adjusting precision of fiber displacement, compensating the fiber Offset after curing. So we can obtain the minimum adjusting precision 0.5£gm and control the fiber traveling distance at ¡Ó0.4£gm. The way to improve those issues of adjusting the fiber array to achieve the best coupling position is described in this paper.
