Abstract
The setting of a screw-operated tapered rod is used to control the separation between a spring-loaded beam element and a base element of a microtranslator with a positioning resolution of the order of 200 nanometers or less in a direction substantially parallel to a given single axis. A microtranslator assembly incorporating two such microtranslators oriented substantially perpendicular to one another is suitable for aligning a laser diode with a single-mode optical fiber to effect maximum coupling of light therebetween.
