Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of optical chip verification technology, and in particular to an optical chip verification device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two methods for verifying optical chips. One method involves assembling the optical chip into a finished product. This method requires the use of microscopes, vacuum pumps, vacuum workbenches, dispensing machines, UV curing adhesives, UV lamps, tweezers, and other equipment to pre-assemble the optical chip with other components. This pre-assembly process is complex and time-consuming, hindering rapid performance verification and thus impacting the R&D and production efficiency of optical chips.

[0003] Another method is to simply assemble the optical chip and then use a lens to verify it. However, the verification environment of the optical chip in this method is quite different from the actual working environment of the optical chip, and it cannot be guaranteed that the performance of the optical chip after assembly into a finished product is the same as the performance after verification.

[0043] The mounting space between the support 100 and the base 200 of the optical chip verification device is used to accommodate the optical chip. During optical chip verification, the optical chip 700 is simply placed on the first mounting slot 120 without complex assembly procedures. At this time, the camera 400 passes through the first through hole 110 and abuts against the optical chip 700 without damaging the optical chip. The first through hole 110 ensures that the optical chip can receive light during the verification process. During operation, light shines on the optical chip 700 through the first through hole 110, electrically connecting the PCB board 300 to the optical chip 700. The PCB board 300 can apply voltage to the optical chip 700 to simulate the working conditions.

The focal length and optical parameters of the camera are matched with the optical performance of the optical chip to ensure accurate acquisition of optical information during the finished product verification process. The camera 400 is electrically connected to the PCB board 300 to transmit the image information of the optical chip acquired by the camera 400 to the PCB board 300. This optical chip verification device can ensure that the camera 400 is in close contact with the optical chip to simulate the working environment of assembling the optical chip into a finished product, ensuring accurate verification results. It can also achieve rapid assembly and disassembly of the optical chip and rapid finished product verification of the optical chip. It is convenient to use and simple to operate, ensuring the performance consistency from optical chip to finished product and improving the R&D and production efficiency of optical chips.

The upper housing 500 is provided with a third through hole 511 that communicates with the first through hole 110, so that external light can irradiate the optical chip 700. Specifically, the PCB board 300 and the lower housing 600 are connected by screws. The lower housing 600 serves as the support structure for the entire optical chip verification device, ensuring the overall stability of the optical chip verification device.
