note = "Funding Information: also shows intensity distributions as the beam exits the incoming fiber and propagates through free-space. Again, one can see the beam waist spreads as it propagates through the free-space gap. For the perfectly aligned case, the Gaussian beam at the free-space/fiber interface is close to the fiber's ideal mode diameter and is well accepted into the outgoing fiber. However, as the mechanical rotation is applied, the beam enters the tilted fiber, resulting in the beam bouncing back and forth on the core/cladding interface. As seen in the cases with tilts of 2 and 6 degrees, that as the tilts get larger, the beam is not completely captured into the core and some power is lost through the cladding. When the tilt gets above the acceptance angle of the fiber, hardly any of the beam is left to propagate through the fiber.
