Abstract
A mechanical subassembly is presented enabling fine positioning and fixation of an array of lensed fibers to multiport photonic integrated circuits. To demonstrate the functionality, two Indium Phosphide based photonic integrated circuits are pigtailed; an integrated two-state multi-wavelength laser chip, operating at 25 ºC and a coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometer chip, operating at 10 ºC. Both devices functions as a onebit optical memory element with optical set and reset functions. Successful post-weldshift compensation, in the order of 0.1 µm – 3 µm, is established, using laser supported adjustment. The mechanical alignment stability is proven to be smaller than 25 nm / ºC, measured in a temperature range between 10 ºC and 30 ºC.
