Bragg Gratings are waveguides, typically single-mode optical fibers, into which a periodic refractive index modulation has been imprinted by a patterned UV exposure. Fiber Bragg Gratings separate telecom frequency bands or compensate for optical dispersion in long-haul fiber networks, and also serve as strain sensors for civil engineering or geophysical studies and oil, gas or mining exploitation. A Bragg Grating writer is an interferometer for generating the UV exposure pattern. It is one of the unusual cases where an interferometer is a production tool, rather than a metrology instrument. In this paper, we review the most common Bragg Grating writing geometry and propose an opto-mechanical structure having minimal adjustment and very high mechanical stability.
Existing mini testers are mostly single axial without any active specimen alignment monitoring and adjustment capability. Fundamental investigation for packaging materials needs to be conducted in terms of constitutive laws, fracture process, failure quantities. For the first time, specimen alignment monitoring and adjustment was demonstrated for a single lap shear sample by the 6-axis mini tester and its associated alignment monitoring and control system, assisted by a high resolution laser moire measurement. This paper presents results for two types of polyimide films, one led-free solder alloy, some other conventional materials, and a flip-chip assembly subjected to a three points bending. Various mechanisms of deformation and failure for both the materials and structures have been discussed. In particular, a new constitutive model for polymer films is also proposed in this paper.
