Here we report about a custom wafer prober for photonic integrated circuits with thermal tuning and permanent trimming functions. Probing experiments were successfully performed with spectral transmission measurements of crystalline and amorphous silicon photonic components. Active thermal tuning of microring resonances were verified and tested with integrated heaters using an electrical probe card whereas permanent modifications were achieved with a trim laser at visible wavelength.enTechnologyElectrical Engineering, Electronic EngineeringAutomatic wafer probing of photonic integrated circuits with thermal tuning and permanent trimming functionsConference PaperConference Paper
