ABSTRACT:
A system for actively aligning an optoelectronic device including a frame, a mounting and alignment assembly, and a camera. The mounting and alignment assembly can be movably connected to the frame and is configured to mount separate portions of an optoelectronic device such that the portions can be moved in relation to each other. An optical signal from a laser in the first portion is transmitted through an optical element in the second portion and captured by the camera to determine the positioning of the first and second portions of the optoelectronic device. The portions can then be aligned accordingly.
