Abstract

See full text

A laser module for optically coupling a laser for generating laser light with an optical fiber having a light-receiving end. A laser assembly has a laser housing comprising a laser housing wall having a laser housing wall opening. A laser is mounted in the laser housing so that its laser light output is directed toward the laser housing wall opening. A lens assembly has a lens housing and a lens mounted in an opening in a first end of the lens housing. The lens housing has a flange protruding from a second end opposite the first end and lens housing walls between the first and second ends of the lens housing. The lens housing walls have a cross-sectional profile smaller than the laser housing wall opening so that the lens housing can be inserted at its first end into the laser housing wall opening and the flange is larger than the laser housing wall opening.
