摘要: An alignment system that uses a single optical sensor to enable the end of an fiber be aligned with input waveguide device. In accordance present invention, it has been determined output can processed and converted into digital signals, which are then further in algorithm generate feedback signals precise achieved. The includes sensor, lens processing logic. logic electrical circuit generates amplified, filtered signal low noise wide dynamic range, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts circuitry computer, processes being executed by computer waveguide. sent motion control is configured adjust spatial positioning signals.
