On March 11, the Webb team completed the stage of alignment known as “fine phasing.” At this key stage in the commissioning of Webb’s Optical Telescope Element, every optical parameter that has been ...

In the case of a coupling between an on-chip waveguide and an optical fibre, for example, the manufacturer typically wants the alignment to minimize the light loss going from one element to another.

“We now know we have built the right telescope.” The team is on track to conclude all aspects of Optical Telescope Element alignment by early May, if not sooner, before moving on to ...

MPIA designed and manufactured six flight models and a further six engineering models of the Precision Alignment Mechanisms ... in positioning the optical elements such as filters, coronagraphs ...

DOEs offer a unique opportunity for industrial laser designers to combine multiple optical functions into one optical element ... the greater ease of optical alignment, and the lower number ...

"In addition, we had to carefully think about how to integrate the optical elements with each other and then align that with the fiber core." After careful planning based on the simulations ...
