Angular Misalignment Loss

In waveguide design and construction, angular misalignment loss is power loss caused by the deviation from optimum angular alignment of the axes of source-to-waveguide, waveguide-to-waveguide, or waveguide-to-detector. The waveguide may be dielectric (an optical fiber) or metallic. Angular misalignment loss does not include lateral offset loss and longitudinal offset loss.

    The loss of my sight was a great fillip. If I could go deaf and dumb I think I might pant on to be a hundred.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
