Abstract
A method of manufacturing and testing integrated optical composites in which fiber pigtails are aligned with and attached to the optical output ports of a plurality of integrated optical components on a wafer, prior to separation into individual components. The multiple pigtails are arranged at the ends opposite the wafer, to facilitate optical connections during active alignment and measurement testing.
Claims11
A method of manufacturing integrated optical devices having optical fiber pigtail means attached to optical output ports comprising:
- a) forming a multiple unit structure comprising a plurality of optical device components, each of said optical device components having at least one optical output port;
- b) attaching at least one optical fiber pigtail means in optical communication with at least one optical output port on each of a plurality of said optical device components, while said optical device components are integrally connected;
- and,
- c) separating said multiple unit structure into a plurality of individual optical device components, said individual optical device components having attached optical fiber pigtail means.
