<p>A method is provided for fusion-splicing with a laser beam (10) two optical components (14, 16), one of the optical components (16) (e.g., an optical element such as a lens) having a surface that has a comparatively larger cross-sectional area than a surface of the other optical component (14) (e.g., an optical fiber). The method comprises aligning the two optical components along one axis and directing a laser beam to be collinear with the optical component having a smaller cross-sectional area and normal or near normal to the surface of the optical component having a larger cross-sectional area.</p> |
