Photonic interconnect scaling is currently bottlenecked by low production yields. Rigid one-size-fits-all lens arrays and slow active alignment struggle to meet soaring delivery volumes, while alignment shifts during epoxy curing drive up scrap rates.
At ECOC 2026, UpNano showcases how the NanoPro VT addresses these manufacturing challenges. This fully robotized, industrial-speed 2-photon polymerization system utilizes advanced machine vision to dynamically compensate for alignment errors down to <100nm. It automatically detects components to print lenses on VCSELs and fiber arrays, or facet-attached micro-lenses on waveguides in seconds, ensuring high-yield CPO assembly on 200mm wafers with <1.5dB loss.
