  • Fiber bundle alignment
    Patent number: 6799899
    Abstract: A fiber optic clamp assembly for use with an ultra-precision translation stage to precisely align a fiber optical bundle with a laser diode mounted in a sealable enclosure, comprising a housing for receiving the fiber bundle, a flexible seal positionable between said housing and said enclosure; and a pressure collar for urging the seal against the enclosure, said collar being freely movable within the housing so as not to load the translation stage when the housing is being moved by the translation stage to align said bundle with said laser diode and thereafter being movable to compress the flexible seal without disturbing the alignment.
