We describe a wafer prober integrated with an optical probe for wafer-level inspection of photonic integrated circuits. The design of the electric and photonic circuit was optimized for wafer-level inspection. The customized prober and circuit design enabled us to perform high-volume and high-speed inspection of over 400 elements, and sufficiently reliable results were obtained. It took about 10 sec. to evaluate the propagation loss of an element. This technology will be a key to reducing the costs of photonic devices.
