OPTICAL BASED PLACEMENT OF OPTICAL COMPONTENT USING PICK-AND-PLACE MACHINE

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to optical based placement of an optical component using a pick-and-place machine. The optical pick-and-place machine is described that includes a self-calibrating optical controller for optical placement of optical components based on error feedback using active alignment. The optical controller may include a loopback mode to generate a baseline value of light generated by the light source and measured by a photodetector within the optical controller. The optical controller may also include an active alignment mode in which light is coupled from the pick-and-place machine to the optics on which the components are placed. The optical coupling of the placed component may be evaluated against a baseline value to ensure that the optical coupling is within specifications (e.g., within a pre-specified range). 本公开的实施例涉及使用取放机器对光学组件进行基于光学的放置。描述了一种光学取放机器，其包括自校准光学控制器，用于使用主动对准来对光学组件进行基于误差反馈的光学放置。光学控制器可以包括环回模式，用以生成由光源生成并由光学控制器内的光电检测器测量的光的基线值。光学控制器还可以包括主动对准模式，在该模式中，光从取放机器被耦合到在其
