Abstract:
A method of arranging a network of optical fiber ends opposite a corresponding network of waveguide ends of a semiconductor wafer displaceable with respect to each other in orthogonal directions X and Y, the method including: arranging the fibers so that the network ends have the same orientation and that the projection of the axis of each fiber on the wafer is parallel to direction Y; injecting, into one of the fibers, a light beam having a wavelength such that light is scattered from the fiber walls, locating the fiber axis, and displacing the fibers or the wafer in direction X to align a characteristic point in line with the projection of the fiber axis on the wafer.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of arranging a network of coplanar ends of optical fibers of a bundle of parallel fibers opposite a corresponding network of ends of waveguides of a semiconductor wafer, the bundle of fibers and the wafer being displaceable with respect to each other in first and second orthogonal directions, the method comprising the successive steps of:\n a) arranging the fiber bundle above the wafer so that the end networks have the same orientation with respect to the first and second directions and the projection of the axis of each of the fibers on the wafer is parallel to the second direction; b) injecting, into one of the fibers a light beam having a wavelength such that light is scattered from the walls of the fiber locating the fiber axis based on the scattered light, and displacing the fiber bundle and the wafer with respect to each other in the first direction to align a characteristic point of the wafer in line with the projection of the axis of the fiber on the wafer; and c) displacing the fiber bundle and the wafer with respect to each other until the end of the fiber is located opposite a corresponding end of a waveguide.
