*I have tested the alignment of the beam spot with respect to the center of the glass ferrules. In the photos shown below, it is clear that the lamp has maintained its alignment since its last use. Next, we wanted to ensure that the fibers were being held at the focus of the lamp. For our purposes it is important that the focus be set to the interior center of the joined fibers, reducing the intensity seen by the outer cladding. By comparing the sizes of the beam spots (intensity) measured in front and behind the glass ferrule it was possible to distinguish he focal position with respect to the center of the fibers. After conducting the test with and without the collimator it was determined that the focus was in the correct position.
