Theoretical proposal and experimental demonstration of novel first light search algorithm using the tilting stages in the optical fiber assembly process

Abstract

In this letter, we propose the new first light search algorithm using 2 tilting stages in optical fiber component assembly process. The proposed algorithm is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The experimental results for 4 different initial light spot conditions show that the theoretical approach and the experiments of our algorithm are exactly matched and that our proposed algorithm can be a new candidate for the first light search algorithm in the fiber-optic component assembly industrial field.
