An apparatus and a method for holding and aligning a fiber optic component. One embodiment includes a collimator tube with a collar to house a portion of an optical fiber, and a clamping device coupled to a support structure to support the collar. The clamping device applies a normal force to the collar when the collar is disposed between the clamping device and the support structure, releasably coupling the collar to the support structure. After alignment, the collar can be affixed to the support structure with epoxy in a manner that reduces or eliminates misalignment caused by curing of the epoxy.
