PI FA1 Alignment Tool, software for aligning optoelectronic components; for use with the C-884 controller for motorized axes and the E-727.AS controller with fast alignment routines (spiraled area scan) for piezo axes with strain gauge sensor.
C-990.FA1 PI FA1 Alignment Tool
Software for Fast Scanning during the Alignment of Optoelectronic Components
- Easy-to-use software for PI alignment systems
- Specially optimized for alignment tasks in silicon photonics
- Convenient setup, execution, and evaluation of scans
Software for fast scanning in alignment processes
Ideally adapted to the requirements for the interactive alignment of optoelectronic components: Graphical representation of defined area scans and scan results. Monitoring the measured intensity signal. Saving and loading settings.
System configuration
Flexible configuration. For alignment systems with a maximum of six motorized axes for long travel ranges and three piezo-based axes for fine alignment. Recommended systems from PI: F-131.3SD1 with three axes each for coarse and fine alignment, F-122.5DC with five motorized axes. Supported controllers: C-884 for motorized axes, E-727.AS for piezo-based fine positioners. Many other system configurations on request.
Installation requirements
Suitable for PCs with Windows operating system. Command and programming knowledge is not required for installation and operation. PIMikroMove or similar software must be used for startup and parametrization of the alignment system.
Licensing model
The software is subject to a charge. The license allows use of one C-884 and one E-727.AS controller respectively and is linked to the serial numbers of the devices.

Applications
SiPh Testing, Assembly, and Packaging
When it comes to throughput and production costs in testing, assembling, and packaging of photonic devices, alignment is one of the most significant cost factors. For maximum performance, the optimal combination of accuracy, speed, and intelligent automation is needed.
Silicon Photonics
A precise, fast, and highly automated alignment of photonic elements and glass fibers is necessary in order to make the quality assurance and production of SiPH components and PICs economically viable. PI's tried and tested active alignment and routines are faster than conventional methods by up to two orders of magnitude.
