PLATIMO: versatile assembling facilities to bring concepts to prototypes and automated production

PLATIMO is a photonic devices micro-components integration unit set up by the CEA-LETI in the Optronics Department thanks to a contribution of the Rhone-Alpes region. The aim of PLATIMO is to propose to industrial and institutional designers a partnership with the knowledge, experience, and necessary automated equipment to speed up the prototyping process and to develop automated assembly solution. To illustrate the capabilities of PLATIMO, we present two very different realisations using the optobonder. The first realisation is a microchip laser assembling with pick-and-place components. The second realisation is an 8-channel V-groove assembling to a planar waveguide splitter by active alignment.
