Abstract:
1. A system for the automation of one or more of the design, assembly and packaging of optoelectronic devices comprising: (a) an automated manipulation device configured for the manipulation of an optoelectronic device component; (b) an optical power propagation model derived using a formula and a set of one or more parameters for said optoelectronic device; wherein the formula is selected from one or more of a Rayleigh-Sommerfeld formulation, an angular spectrum solution to a Rayleigh-Sommerfeld formulation, a Ray formulation, a Gaussian formulation, a Fraunhofer Field Formulation, a Fresenel Field formulation, and vector solutions to Maxwell's equations; (c) a database for storing said optical power propagation model; (d) a measuring device for taking a measurement of one or more parameters of at least one component of said optoelectronic device; and (e) a controller for managing said automated manipulation device, said controller enabled to receive information from said database; wherein said controller comprises an initial set point device which utilizes said optical power propagation model to determine an initial set point for said automated manipulation device, and a servo-feedback loop which utilizes said measurement of one or more parameters of at least one component of said optoelectronic device to determine a manipulation of at least one component of said optoelectronic device.
