Photonics

A photonic assembly combines alignment budget, mechanical stability, cleanliness, coatings and thermal control. Interfaces are reviewed as a chain so adjustment of one element does not transfer error to the next.

The system before the part number

A photonic assembly combines alignment budget, mechanical stability, cleanliness, coatings and thermal control. Interfaces are reviewed as a chain so adjustment of one element does not transfer error to the next.

Inputs that drive selection

  • Wavelength, aperture, surface quality and coating
  • Alignment, resolution, repeatability and locking method
  • Thermal stability, vibration and allowable drift
  • Vacuum environment, cleanliness and integration with detectors or sources

Recommendation boundary

VPD relates technologies, components and interfaces from documented requirements. The final configuration, performance and acceptance plan are confirmed for each installation.
