Method, system and computer program product for assembling an optical module

A method of assembling an optical module including a light emitting element and at least one optical component, the method comprising the steps of:

• measuring a far field pattern (FFP) of a light output from said at least one optical component, which is configured to receive said light emitted from said light-emitting element;
• positioning said at least one optical component based on said FFP;
• and
• measuring a near field pattern (NFP) of the light output from said at least one optical component;
• and positioning said at least one optical component based on said NFP, wherein the step of positioning based on said NFP is performed before the step of positioning based on said FFP.

A system for assembling an optical module including a light emitting element and at least one optical component, the system comprising:

• means for measuring a far field pattern (FFP) of a light output from said at least one optical component, which is configured to receive said light emitted from said light-emitting element;
• means for positioning said at least one optical component based on said FFP;
