Abstract: Systems and methods can align of one or more optical beams with respect to one another, an optical axis, a far-field location, and/or a near-field location. An example method includes coupling, with an index-matched epoxy, a plurality of adjustable optical surfaces and an optical element. Each adjustable optical surface of the plurality of adjustable optical surfaces is associated with a respective light-emitter device of a plurality of light-emitter devices. Additionally, the method includes causing at least one light-emitter device to emit light that interacts with at least one adjustable optical surface and an optical element to provide a transmitted light beam. The method also includes receiving information about a beam profile of the transmitted light beam, comparing the beam profile to a desired beam profile, and adjusting a position of the at least one adjustable optical surface with respect to the optical element based on the comparison.

Abstract: Precision and chip contamination-free placement of two-dimensional (2D) material and van der Waals (VDW) layered materials accelerates both the study of fundamental properties and novel device functionality. The system transfers 2D materials utilizing a combination of a narrow transfer-stamper and viscoelastic and optically transparent film. Precise placement of individual 2D materials results in vanishing cross-contamination to the substrate. The 2D printer results in an aerial cross-contamination improvement of two to three orders of magnitude relative to state-of-the-art transfer methods from a source of average area sub um{circumflex over ( )}2. The transfer-stamper does not physically harm any micro/nanostructures preexisting on the target substrates receiving the 2D material such as, nanoelectronics, waveguides or micro-ring resonators. Such accurate and substrate-benign transfer method for 2D and VDW layered materials provides rapid device prototyping due to its high time-reduction, accuracy, and contamination-free process.
