Currently, product of optical collimator for optical communication is depending on handiwork, and some companies are propelling semi-automatic system composite of manual and automatic operations. In this point of time, the importance of automatic system of optical collimator for optical communication is taking its place as a core technology in the development of parts with high-efficiency of optical communication. In order to develop such an optical collimator in this study, we designed an automatic assembly system, and developed a software for the system operation. At a result of that, we could carry out a single work process individually running processes of collimator fabrication, a constant work process constantly running all of the processes, and performance evaluation of the collimator.

Up to now, collimators have teen generally produced by handwork and only a few companies have produced by semi-automatic system. Under this situation, automatic system for assembly of optical collimators has risen as a mast essential technique in the development of optical communication components. In this study, it was constructed to develop optical collimators with high functionality and we manufactured optical collimators with a GRIN rod lens and spherical lens using automatic system. Therefore, we worked a performance test through a comparison of collimators made by automatic system and handwork with angle augment, bean size. Also we selected a optimum assembly condition of GRIN rod lens and spherical lens. As a result, it brought a reduction of the tact time and an improvement of an efficiency and a productivity of optical collimators, therefore it was found that automatic system was indispensable for materialization of optical collimators with high functionality.

At present, the fabrication of optical filter for optical communication mostly depends on handwork, and only a few companies are propelling semi-automatic systems compounded with automatic and hand-operated methods. The measurement evaluation of optical filters is not commonly useful, so it causes difficulties in the producing field. And the packaging process becomes a very unstable process because the filters are judged from the results that they are not measured and immediately packaged during that process. In this situation, the automatic assembly system of optical filter for communication is extremely important and has begun to make its appearance as the most necessary technology for developing optical communication component with high-functionality. In this paper, we constructed systems of assembly and performance evaluation for micro optical collimator. And by using that, we designed a system capable of performance evaluation and assembly of film filter of about 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness as well as optical filter for common communication.

Collimators were mostly produced by handwork and semi-automatic system in some companies. Under this situation, automatic manufacturing system for optical collimators is on the rise most essential technique in the development of optical communication components. In this study, automatic manufacturing system was designed and constructed to develop optical collimators with high functionality. Also optical collimators were manufactured using a developed automatic system. We have compared collimators made by automatic system and handwork fer performance test with a measured values of angle alignment, beam size and TIL. As a result, it brought a reduction of the tact time fur manufacturing and improvement of an efficiency of optical collimators, and then it was found that automatic system was indispensable for materialization of optical collimators with high functionality.

Optical collimating lenses are play a role as maintenance parallel light and as a kind of optical collimating lens, there is Ball lenses, GRIN-rod lenses, spherical lenses and aspherical lenses etc. but recently GRIN lens has monopolized a market. The performance of optical collimator depended on the coupling efficiency. In this paper, we were compared and analyzed to be measured values of coupling efficiency with respect to optical working distance using GRIN rod lenses and spherical lenses. In the case of GRIN lenses with a beam size of 420 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, the minimum coupling efficiency was obtained to a measured value of 0.15 ㏈ and in the case of spherical lenses was obtained to a measured value of 0.12 ㏈ on the same condition. In results, we found that a performance of spherical lenses be better as compared with a that of GRIN lens.
