Abstract:
An automatic light-coupling system for optical components, which is suitable for coupling and packaging an optical assembly, comprising:a light-coupling device comprising: a coupling media installer comprising: a horizontal table for moving a coupling media along a horizontal direction; a vertical table for moving a coupling media along a vertical direction; and a coupling media table for clipping a connector of the coupling media; and an optical component installer comprising: a focus-control table for controlling the focusing and withdrawing of the optical components; a horizontal turntable for controlling the horizontal rotation of the optical components; a vertical turntable for controlling the vertical rotation of the optical components; an adapter of the optical component for holding the optical component, in which a pinhole is placed in front of the optical component so that the light emitted from the optical component passes through the pinhole and forms a light beam that is rotated to correct the assembly inclination of the horizontal table and the vertical table; and a withdrawing component for separating the connector from the adapter after the coupling and packaging of the optical component and the coupling media are finished; and a coupling control device for controlling the automatic light-coupling process of the light-coupling device.
