Abstract
A method for manufacturing a fiber-optic collimator which comprises the steps of projecting a beam of light, emerging outwardly from an optical fiber, through a lens onto a planar reflecting medium so as to reflect therefrom, causing the reflected beam of light to enter the fiber through the lens, and adjusting a relationship in position between the lens and the fiber such that the intensity of the reflected beam of light entering the fiber attains a maximum value. The lens and the fiber are then fixed in position when an indication is provided that the intensity of the reflected beam of light has attained the maximum value.
