ABSTRACT:
A method for precisely aligning a first optical component to a second optical component that is coupled to a substrate. At least one of a number of coupling elements is modified to attach the first optical component to the substrate. An optical coupling quality of the first optical component to the second optical component is determined. At least one of the modified coupling elements that couples the first optical component to the substrate is micro-manipulated to precisely align the first optical component with the second optical component and improve the optical coupling quality.
