Abstract
A coupling device for coupling a laser beam into an optical fibre includes a base plate carrying a laser holder and an optical fibre holder substantially aligned with each other along a common axis. The optical fibre holder includes an inner housing disposed within an outer housing and formed with a bore for receiving the end of the optical fibre. One housing includes pin adjusting means for adjusting the received end of the optical fibre substantially parallel to the common axis; and the other housing includes pin adjusting means for adjusting the received end of the optical fibre substantially perpendicularly and/or angularly to the common axis.
