Analysis and computations made here, corroborated by experiment, determine the effects of axial displacement and angular misalignment on the power coupled between butt-joined, single-mode optical fibers. The absolute accuracy with which fibers must be joined on-centers is reduced for fibers with relatively smaller core; the angular accuracy is increased.
