ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for maintaining one end of an optical fiber and a focusing lens is provided including means for adjustably focusing a beam of light onto the end of the fiber. The adjustable focusing means includes a means for pivoting the focusing lens and fiber to provide a very fine adjustment to direct the light beam into the core at the end of the optical fiber. The subject device includes a framework for maintaining the lens and one end of the optical fiber in a precisely controlled relationship. The adjustable focusing means may further include at least one screw in threaded engagement with the base portion of the device. One end of the screw contacts a peripheral portion of the maintaining means so that rotation of the screw causes the maintaining means to pivot about the end of the optical fiber.
