Within the photonics industry there is currently a big movement of defining standards for PIC layouts, connections, gold boxes and assembly procedures to streamline the evaluation and mass production of modules. A quite untouched area is the standardisation of photonics packaging and testing equipment which plays a crucial role within the value chain of the industry. This talk will highlight some of the industries standardisation activities, provide an insight about our machine standardisation efforts at ficonTEC and explain an application example of a machine which is used for fiber and free space optical coupling with minor adjustments.
Dr. Andon Bano is currently responsible for ficonTEC sales in the European market. He is working since 10 years in the photonics industry covering different roles from R&D to sales covering topics like Integrated Photonics, Photonics assembly and testing, Optical fiber sensors, Femtosecond lasers, metrology etc. He has a master’s degree in Electronic engineering and a PhD in Metrology form Politecnico di Torino.
