ABSTRACT:
A system and method for aligning optical components based on coupled optical power and encircled flux is described. In one embodiment of the invention, coupled power and encircled flux is measured corresponding to multiple locations of a first optical component relative to a second optical element. The measured coupled power and encircled flux values are analyzed and an appropriate location of the first optical component relative to the second optical component is selected.
