Abstract. In this paper an easy to use free-space alignment technique for the alignment of different active optical waveguide components is reported. This technique has successfully been implemented for the characterization of waveguide photodetectors with an intrinsic layer thickness of 0.15 m. This technique is found to be very reliable and accurate.

Keywords: waveguide optical detector, active waveguide component.
