Photonics Components Testing
Home »
Alter Technology offers a robust suite of photonics component testing services, especially geared toward high-reliability sectors like aerospace, quantum technologies, and advanced communications. Our capabilities include:
Optoelectronic Characterization
We test components such as laser diodes, photodetectors, and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) across a wide spectral range, from deep UV to mid-infrared, using tunable lasers, integrating spheres, and spectrum analysers.
Environmental and Mechanical Testing
Components are subjected to extreme conditions like thermal cycling (–263 °C to +430 °C), vibration, and mechanical stress (pull, push, torsion) to simulate launch and space environments.
Precision Optical Alignment
Using high-resolution actuators and rotation stages, we ensure sub-micron alignment accuracy—critical for coupling light into fibers or photonic chips.
Cleanroom Testing
All testing is conducted in ISO-5 (Class 100) cleanroom environments to maintain optical integrity and prevent contamination.
Custom Photonic Packaging
Alter also supports the packaging and assembly of photonic components, ensuring thermal management, optical alignment, and mechanical robustness for mission-critical applications.
Our expertise bridges the gap between lab-grade photonics and space-qualified systems.
