The present invention disclose a method comprising the steps of fixing a first device to a first housing using a first manufacturing process and fixing a second device to a first housing using a second manufacturing process. The first device can be a laser and the second device an optical fiber. After the first and second device have been fixed to the first housing, the first device lies at a first position relative to the second device. The first device, the second device, and the first housing comprise a first sample. The first sample can be flexed by an amount y1. The first sample is next subjected to a deterioration process such as baking. After the deterioration process it is determined whether the first device lies within a range of the first position relative to the second device. The method may also comprise fixing a third device and a fourth device to a second housing using the same first and second manufacturing processes as for the first sample. The third and fourth devices may be the same type of devices as the first and second devices. The third device will lie at a second position relative to the fourth device in the completed second sample. The second sample can be flexed an amount y2 which can be different from the amount y1. After flexing the second sample would be subjected to the deterioration process. The second position would be checked after the deterioration process to see if it lies within a range. This method can be repeated for any number of samples to determine the appropriate amount of flexing of a sample of a certain type needed to achieve the most reliable positioning results. The deterioration process is designed to simulate the stress, wear, and tear that will be experiences by a sample during its lifetime. If the positioning of the first device with respect to the second device remains fairly constant after a deterioration process it means that the sample will be more reliable for a longer time period. The flexing can be bending or twisting or any other manner of applying force to the sample.
