ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a lensed fiber assembly having disposed therein an optical fiber, canted at an angle to the axis of light propagation, so as to adequately reduce back reflection of light into an optically active device coupled to the optical fiber. The design of the present invention enables quick and accurate alignment of the optical fiber with the active optical device by movement of the lensed fiber assembly either on axis with and/or orthogonal to the axis of light propagation.
