An optical apparatus for aligning an optical fiber (12a, 12b, 12c) includes a lens (16, 18) having a first face and a second face. In one embodiment, the first face (40) of the lens (18) receives an optical signal (24b, 24c) at an input displacement and an input angle. In this embodiment, an optical fiber (12b, 12c) is coupled to the second face (42) of the lens (18) at an output angle in response to the input displacement of the optical signal and at an output displacement in response to the input angle of the optical signal. In another embodiment, an optical fiber (12a) is coupled to the first face (34) of the lens (16) at an input displacement and an input angle. In this embodiment, the optical fiber transmits an optical signal (24a) that exits the second face (36) of the lens (16) at an output angle in response to the input displacement and at an output displacement in response to the input angle. |
