Abstract
The launching efficiency is calculated for the HE11 mode in an optical-fibre waveguide excited by an off-axis Gaussian laser beam. The dependence of the launching efficiency on small displacements of the fibre is discussed, and possible methods of easing the problem of positional alignment are suggested. Some recent experimental work is described.
