ABSTRACT:
The end of an optical fiber is slantingly cut at an angle .theta.. A beam propagating refracts on the end surface at a slanting angle .alpha.. A Laser chip should ideally be mounted at a spot deviating by x.sub.0 =Ltan .alpha. from the center on the package, where L is the distance between the lens center plane and the laser surface. The fiber should be deviating in the reverse direction of the deviation of the laser. The deviation of the fiber should ideally be a product of x.sub.0 and the multiplying ratio of the lens. The orientation of the fiber should be in the direction where the lowest point of the end surface of the fiber is the closest to the lens axis. In practice, the fiber end should be aligned for maximizing the light power by moving the fiber end parallel in xy-plane and by moving axially in z-axis without rotation. The deviation of the laser alleviates the cost and the time of alignment in the laser module.
