Laser Welding Induced Alignment Distortion (WIAD) during pigtailing of pump lasers has been numerically modeled and studied experimentally. The results demonstrate that the WIAD can be minimized by properly controlling the laser beam energy delivery. A 3D finite element model has been developed for effectively predicting the WIAD.
