Provided is an optical fiber array capable of alignment for a silicon photonics wafer testing system including a base, a lid, a plurality of fiber optics, and a plurality of marks. The base has a first endface and a plurality of grooves, and one lateral opening of each groove is located on the first endface. The lid has a second endface and is stacked onto the base to cover the grooves and portions of the fiber optics in the grooves and expose the lateral openings. The first endface, light emitting/receiving surfaces of the fiber optics, and the second endface are located on a same plane. The marks are respectively disposed on the first endface and the second endface and outside a range where the fiber optics are located. An alignment method of an optical fiber array is also provided.
An optical fiber array capable of alignment adapted for a silicon photonics wafer testing system, wherein the silicon photonics wafer testing system comprises a wafer prober and an optical coupling actuator, the optical fiber array is loaded on the optical coupling actuator, the optical coupling actuator is disposed on the wafer prober, a silicon photonics wafer is loaded on the wafer prober, the optical fiber array is aligned through the wafer prober, so that the aligned optical fiber array reaches a state of being able to optically couple with a coupler of the silicon photonics wafer, and the optical fiber array comprises:
