Overcoming challenges when testing Fiber Array Unit assemblies for co-packaged optics.

Fiber Array Units (FAU) have become a necessary tool for coupling light into and out of a photonic integrated circuit. Qualifying these assemblies for loss can be challenging due to the non-standard nature and compactness of the FAU assembly. Santec has released a new application note detailing the equipment requirements and testing methods to obtain repeatable and accurate loss measurements on such assemblies.
