Active-alignment feedback is not limited to images — wire an optical power meter (OPM), beam profiler or other instruments into the loop, and the same 6DoF platform aligns MetaLenses, laser diodes and photonic components, peak-seeking directly on the measured values.
This Case · Specifications
Inside the black enclosure and clean chamber is an integrated station combining a multi-axis alignment platform (6DoF in this case; other cases go further), machine vision and third-party measurement instruments. Scroll down to enter the process.

Machine vision first coarse-aligns the VCSEL and MetaLens; a scan then builds the power terrain and gradient hill-climbing follows, as the 6DoF platform converges linear offsets and tilt. Only after alignment come dispensing and UV curing, with shrinkage drift compensated by the loop.
Alignment is driven by the light the instruments read — the beam profiler records spot shape and 1/e² diameter, while the OPM reports coupling efficiency and insertion loss; from before to after alignment, the spot converges from a skewed, divergent blob into a tight Gaussian circle.
2.5D / 3D profile metrology, image quality, optical power, beam shape — feedback sources are pluggable. A 6DoF motion and machine-vision foundation extends from CCM camera modules to MetaLenses and photonic packaging — the shared core of every AIC equipment solution.
This page uses photonics coupling (VCSEL + MetaLens) as its example, but measurement-feedback alignment reaches well beyond it.
A 6DoF motion, imaging-feedback and process-integration foundation already extends to camera modules, AR waveguides, light-engine stack alignment and optical coupling.
