photonics alignment system
The TWS-1000 photonics alignment system is ideal for R and D and low-volume production as well as teaching institutions that require state-of-the-art equipment at a reasonable price
Designed for high-precision photonics alignment applications, the TWS-1000 is ideal for R and D and low-volume production as well as teaching institutions that require state-of-the-art equipment without the high price traditionally associated with such products. The photonics alignment system will be demonstrated for the first time next week at OFC 2003 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The TWS-1000 is the latest innovative tool developed by EXFO for alignment, testing and bonding of optical components.
Development was driven by customer demand for cost-effective, flexible and accurate alignment.
Significant benefits include: accurate alignment over long distances with piezoelectric (PZT) technology; 60nm resolution for maximum coupling efficiency; and up to 12 degrees of freedom, depending on configuration, for maximum versatility.
The TWS-1000 was designed to be easy to use and adaptable to a wide range of assembly applications including PLCs, transceivers, ball lens, butterfly packages and a host of other optoelectronic components.
"EXFO is the only company with the broad-ranging expertise, including nanoalignment, testing and bonding, needed to translate customer requirements into solutions", said David Farrell, President of EXFO Burleigh Products Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of EXFO.
"Our new TWS-1000 photonics alignment system can be configured to meet a wide variety of customer requirements and budgets.
It's the most cost-effective solution available today for high-precision, low-volume nanoalignment and is perfectly suited for volume ramp-up and process optimisation of new optical components".
