Abstract
A method for aligning optical components in an optical assembly. The method comprises the steps of pre-aligning the optical fiber to the optical device, measuring a coupling efficiency of the optical fiber to the optical device, applying energy to a support means, the energy being sufficient to enable the support means to become ductile, and applying a force to the support means in a direction which increases the coupling efficiency.
