    Abstract: Technologies are generally provided for enhancing optical coupling between nanostructures, such as a nanowire, and an optical element, such as an optical fiber, for example in order to enable effective optical communication. A nanostructure may be automatically aligned with an optical fiber by suspending the nanowire within a fluid and causing the nanowire to align itself with a tip of the optical fiber also suspended within the fluid. Light may be directed through the optical fiber to induce an optical gradient in the fluid near the optical fiber tip. The optical gradient may attract the nanowire to the tip of the optical fiber, and may cause to align with the optical fiber. Post-alignment, the nanowire may be permanently coupled with the optical fiber to form a nanowire-optical fiber assembly to couple light between the optical fiber and a nanophotonic circuit integrated with the nanowire.

    Abstract: Technologies are generally provided to establish imaging through an optical fiber to enhance optical coupling between an optoelectronic device and the optical fiber. Imaging may be established by determining transmission properties of the optical fiber based on an observed light pattern, and applying a phase mask to input light based on the transmission properties to produce a focused light at the output end of the optical fiber. The focused light may be employed to determine a position and orientation of the optoelectronic device relative to the optical fiber by scanning the focused light and collecting light reflected from the scanning of the optoelectronic device at a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and generating an image of the optoelectronic device. The position and orientation of the target device may be adjusted employing precision alignment tools to enhance alignment of the target device with the optical fiber for optimal coupling.
