We propose a set of guidelines for the practical design of lensed fiber for the optical coupling of semiconductor lasers in butterfly packages using laser welding. These guidelines have optimized the tradeoff between coupling efficiency and alignment tolerance. Moreover, a radius of curvature of 11 mum is shown to be optimal for semiconductor lasers whose divergence angles range from 5deg to 30deg...
