Laser Beam alignment tool

This unbelievably small USB camera is great for embedded projects that have USB host support for standard UVC cameras, and not a lot of space.

This is a 2D search method based on finding the highest power within a certain path (Figure 6). The direction of the climb favors the location of the higher power region. The hill climb method is most effective when the beam has a Gaussian profile and when power quickly increases. The hill climb method, by itself, is not effective in finding peak power with flat beam profiles.

In addition to understanding critical motion parameters, efficient fiber alignment requires the selection of a positional search algorithm appropriate to the application and to the step in the alignment procedure. Specific search algorithms are available for finding the first light, i.e., the periphery of a light beam, after which different algorithms that are faster and more precise are used to find the peak power location. The choice of the second algorithm depends on whether the beam has a Gaussian distribution or top hat profile with multiple peaks. Some algorithms can be used to profile both types of beams and can also be used in parallel.

Optical alignment design

Similar to “Axis by Axis”, but process repeated with smaller steps until reaching the minimal step size. Starting with large increments, a dichotomy search (Figure 8) initially searches one axis at a time until a peak is identified. The search then returns to the first peak. Within this first peak, another search cycle is performed using finer steps to find the maximum peak location. Starting step size is reduced by defined ReductionFactor and continues until MaxReductionFactor is reached.

Execute a relative move in both directions, then returns to the location of the highest power found.  Then the same process is repeated for the next axes.

Executes an outward spiral (Continuous-PVT or Square) until reaching the power threshold (Square only) or return to the highest power position after completing the spiral.Figure 5 illustrates this first light method, which tracks in the general area of the beam using a spiral motion by synchronizing the motion of the X and Y axes.

Practical guide to optical alignment

When using motion control systems for fiber alignment, the motion parameters considered for each axis critically affect the alignment process. The following are the primary parameters for consideration when selecting a motion controller for the location of peak power in fiber alignment procedures:

This is the simplest search method. It scans along one axis and indexes by a certain distance along another axis, then repeats the cycle. It is one of the quickest methods for finding the first light of the beam. The concept is shown in Figure 1 where the green line shows how the raster proceeds.

After completing a first spiral search, a half size second spiral is executed at a different Z position, then stages move step by step (by a quarter of initial Z motion) on the axis defined by the two spiral peak power locations until reaching a maximum or the threshold. Spiral search can be Continuous-PVT or Square.
