ABSTRACT

Advanced Manufacturing for Optical Fibers and Integrated Photonic Devices explores the theoretical principles and industrial practices of high-technology manufacturing. Focusing on fiber optic, semiconductor, and laser products, this book:

  • Explains the fundamentals of standard, high-tech, rapid, and additive manufacturing workshops
  • Examines the production lines, processes, and clean rooms needed for the manufacturing of products
  • Discusses the high-technology manufacturing and installation of fiber optic cables, connectors, and active/passive devices
  • Describes continuous improvement, waste reduction through 5S application, and management’s responsibilities in supporting production
  • Covers Lean Manufacturing processes, product improvement, and workplace safety, as well as internal/external and ISO auditing
  • Offers a step-by-step approach complete with numerous figures and tables, detailed references, and a glossary of terms
  • Employs the international system of units (SI) throughout the text

Advanced Manufacturing for Optical Fibers and Integrated Photonic Devices presents the latest manufacturing achievements and their applications in the high-tech sector. Inspired by the author’s extensive industrial experience, the book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary manufacturing technologies.
