Abstract
A particulate removal and lens bond test device includes a base for receiving a waffle pack holding a plurality of optical subassemblies (OSAs) to be tested and an associated applicator for applying a predetermined flow of gas across the OSAs to remove loose particulates and to test the bond strength of the lens on the OSA. The applicator includes a flow regulator and a plurality of orifices arranged to direct the flow of gas onto each individual OSA in the waffle pack.
