1. A method for detecting misalignment of a component and a fiber, comprising:

  • activating a component within a receptacle at a first current and measuring a first power of a component'"'"'s output with a first detector;

    positioning a structure holding a fiber in a bore of the receptacle wherein a first end of the fiber is positioned approximately perpendicular to and approximately at the center of an output surface of the component;

    activating the component at the first current and measuring a second output power at a second end of the fiber with a second detector; and

    calculating a ratio of the second power to the first power.
