Abstract
A method of aligning an optical fiber to a light source (e.g., a laser diode) in an optical assembly includes inserting a weld clip over a ferrule holding the optical fiber so that there is no gap between the ferrule and the weld clip, initially aligning the optical fiber to the laser diode, fixedly attaching the weld clip to a platform, realigning the optical fiber to the laser diode, and fixedly attaching the weld clip to the ferrule.
