Abstract
A module which holds an optical fiber and a laser in alignment to couple light energy emitted from the laser to an end of the fiber. The fiber is held within a metal ferrule. The fiber and the laser are aligned by means of a metal platform to which both the ferrule and the laser are secured. Only the ferrule is secured to the outer box of the module, so that the platform, along with the alignment of the fiber and the laser, are isolated from mechanical stresses induced in the box.
