Abstract
A method of aligning the polarization-preserving axis of a receiving end of a polarization-preserving optical fiber with the linearly-polarized output of a semiconductor laser in which the fiber optic end is placed substantially adjacent the laser rather than being separated from the laser by a polarizing optical system.
