In this paper we present some investigations and analysis of various parameters that contribute for increasing the coupling efficiency of laser diode to single mode fiber coupling using ball lenses coupling scheme. Dual beams from Nd:YAG laser welding system have been used for the alignment and welding of the coupling components in a butterfly configuration. The process of attachment of fiber to laser diode and welding of various coupling components, such as lens holders, fiber ferrule and welding clips have been performed in what is so called active alignment process, where the system continues measuring the coupled power during the process of coupling and welding of coupling components in their holder to each other and to the main substrate. The experimentally measured coupling efficiency using double ball lenses coupling scheme was found to be around 75% with relaxed axial, lateral and angular misalignment tolerances. From theoretical calculations we found that by optimizing the separations between various components, coupling efficiency can reach 100% with relaxed misalignment tolerances. From the effect of lateral and angular offsets as well as the 1-dB misalignment tolerances calculations, the mode fields of laser diode and single mode fiber have been found to be effectively matched.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
