control plays a crucial role since integrated
photonic components and PICs
are often optimized for specific input
and output polarization states.
* RF signal integrity: Accurate measurement
of RF signals accounting for
de-embedding up to the device boundary
is a challenge. RF signal quality is
also highly dependent on the layout and
can degrade due to parasitic coupling.
* Accounting for manufacturing variations:
Estimating high-speed performance
of a circuit on multiple dies
requires knowledge of expected manufacturing
variation and understanding
the correlation between variation
in component and circuit level parameters.
To
address these challenges, AIM
Photonics' Opto-electronic Testing Services
currently includes over 30 tools for
passive optical, active optoelectronic,
telecom/datacom, and RF and DC testing.
With this toolset, AIM Photonics is
able to provide PIC designers and developers
access to a wide array of advanced
test and measurement tools. Among
these are a 300 millimeter automated
electro optic wafer and
die level prober with
six degrees of optimization
for
vertical and
edge-coupler based measurements. Other
tools include tunable lasers at the CL
and O-band as well as laser characterization
including LIV, gain, and linewidth.
There are also tools available for small
signal high frequency measurements for
MMIC applications.
Future plans
for upgrading AIM
Photonics' test infrastructure also includes
adding the capability to extend
electro-optic s-parameter measurements
up to 110 GHz, as well as additional
capabilities for measurements
at shorter wavelengths for applications
such as sensors. Users of AIM
Photonics' testing services include not
only small businesses and academics,
but also research and development
groups in larger organizations that
want to explore photonics without
having to invest in additional testing
infrastructure. Purchasing the advanced
tools required to test and measure
photonic integrated
circuits
can be cost-prohibitive for many
