Photonic Integrated Circuit Characterisation System

Description

The system is designed for the optical and electrical characterisation of photonic integrated building blocks and various photonic integrated circuits.

Optical contacting is performed via an array of single-mode optical fibres. Electrical contacting is performed via an array of contact needles. Optical contacting is automatic.

Specifications

  • Automatic chip contacting measurement unit (with automatic on-chip optical coupler search method) by Maple Leaf Photonics, type MLP SD100 Probe station (6 DOF, 4 motorised axes, 2 nm tuning resolution, X/Y/Z: 50/25/12 mm chip travel, temperature stabilised adjustable chip table, 4 DOF, 1 motorised axis).
  • Optical fibre array, 8 single mode fibres, 127 um spacing, angle of incidence 8 degrees
  • manually adjustable electrical contacting stage (5 DOF), 10 Tu needles (DC - MHz), 150 um pitch, 8-channel current-voltage measurement card (12 V/24 mA), 16 bit output, 18 bit input
  • Laser source (Santec TSL 570-P, 1480 - 1640 nm)
  • optical power meter (Santec MPM-211-04-F, 4 channels, 1250 - 1680 nm, - 70 - + 5 dBm)
  • optical spectrum analyser (Yokogawa AQ6370D, 600 nm - 1700 nm, maximum resolution 0.02 nm, dynamic range 70 dB)
  • polarisation analyser (Keysight N7781C, 1240 nm to 1650 nm)
  • Photonica software to coordinate the system and instruments and to enable rapid measurements to be made
  • other associated equipment
