Abstract
A method of aligning an optical fiber with an optical component in a micro-optical sub-assembly, comprises: providing a groove in the micro-sub-assembly in alignment with the optical component; and placing the optical fiber in the groove, thereby aligning the optical fiber with the optical component. In this way a placement tool with an accuracy of 50 microns can be used to place an optical fiber with an alignment accuracy of one micron.
