    Abstract: A method of making an optics package is described in which an exposed length of optical fiber is deliberately subject to a predetermined bend. The relationship between the exposed length of the optical fiber and a distance between a location at which it is supported and a fixing point on an optical device is determined taking into account the induced strain in the optical fiber. An optics package designed according to the method is also set forward.
