Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a carrier mechanism for retaining optical devices. The carrier mechanism includes adjacent tray assemblies stacked such that a plurality of optical device lenses are retained therebetween. The carrier mechanism retains the plurality of optical device lenses without damaging the plurality of optical device lenses by contacting corners of the optical device lenses. The plurality of optical device lenses are retained with a plurality of support pins and a plurality of capture pins disposed in the tray assemblies. Each tray includes a plurality of openings corresponding to the plurality of optical device lenses such that fluids may contact the plurality of optical device lenses. The carrier mechanism may be utilized in multiple processing methods of the plurality of optical device lenses.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for substrate dicing are described. The method includes utilizing a laser to dice a substrate along a dicing path to form a perforated line around each device within the substrate. The dicing path is created by exposing the substrate to bursts of laser pulses at different locations around each device. The laser pulses are delivered to the substrate and may have a pulse repetition frequency of greater than about 25 MHz, a pulse width of less than about 15 picoseconds, and a laser wavelength of about 1.0 μm to about 5 μm.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for devices and methods for retaining optical devices. The devices and methods described herein provide for retention of the substrate without contacting sensitive portions of the substrate. The devices and methods utilize retention pads or vacuum pins to contact the exclusion zones i.e., inactive areas of the substrate to retain the substrate and prevent the substrate from moving laterally. Additionally, a holding force retains the substrate in the vertical direction, without contacting the substrate. The methods provide for adjusting the devices to account for multiple geometries of the substrate. The methods further provide for adjusting the devices, such as adjusting a gap between the optical device and a suction pad, to alter the holding force of the devices on the optical devices.

Abstract: An optical device coating assembly is provided. The optical device coating assembly includes a substrate support operable to retain an optical device substrate. The coating assembly further includes a first actuator connected to the substrate support. The first actuator is configured to rotate the substrate support. The coating assembly includes a holder configured to hold a coating applicator against an edge of the optical device substrate when the optical device substrate is rotated on the substrate support and a second actuator operable to apply a force on the holder in a direction towards the substrate support. The second actuator is a constant force actuator.
