Soldering Technique on Flexible Fiber Holder Packaging

In the fiber-optic modules packaging, the passive alignment can provide mass production, but it also results in low Electro-Optic performance. After using active alignment in packaging, the laser welding is often applied to assemble the module. However, the welding process cause a post-weld-shift (PWS) of fiber. And the laser welding machine is expensive, this will make the module packaging price hard to cost down.
A major cost-reduction soldering fixing technique is developed to replace the laser welding. To determine the fabrication tolerances associated with the coupling of a laser diode and a single-mode fiber(SMF), the sensitivity of the coupling efficiency in both linear and angular offsets was measured. In this research, a fiber holder and a gripper have been developed for assembly. And active alignment is used to align the laser diode and SMF under computer control, whereupon a soldering fixing operation joins the fiber holder on the module. During the soldering process, the condition control was provided to keep the deflection steady. After the displacement compensating before soldering, the final displacement is less than 1 ㎛ which keeps the coupling loss within 3dB.
