Apparatus for the alignment of single-mode optical fibers

An apparatus for the alignment of single-mode optical fibers is described. Design configurations are suggested for the aligning unit and the device used to process the error signal controlling the piezoelectric elements. The apparatus should be of interest to developers of fiber-optic systems as a special-purpose industrial accessory.Translated from Izmeritel'naya Tekhnika, No. 8, pp. 28–29, August, 1995.
