Apparatus for aligning a single optical fiber (23) with a collimating lens (21) includes an alignment bushing (25) having a chamfer (27) on a first side surface (29) adapted to receive the spherical collimating lens (21). An orifice (31) is arranged concentrically with the chamfer (27) and extends through to a second side (33) of the bushing (25). The orifice (31) is sized to securely hold a single optical fiber. In this way, a single relatively simple element accomplishes all of the axial alignment functions between the optical fiber and the spherical lens. <IMAGE> |
