To align an optical module to an image sensor module comprising at least an image sensor, a test image is received with a reference optical element along a first reference optical path, before reflecting the test image along a second reference optical path with the reference optical element towards the image sensor module. An alignment orientation of the image sensor module is first corrected with respect to the reference optical element in order to receive the test image over the second reference optical path onto the image sensor. The reference optical element is subsequently replaced with the optical module. Next, an orientation of the optical module is manipulated such that the second optical path coincides with the second reference optical path so as to optically align the optical module with the image sensor module, before the optical module is finally attached to the image sensor module.

An optical fiber measurement device includes a light source, a light detector, a direction-changing member, and a tension-applying member. The light source emits light toward an optical fiber. The light detector receives the light that has propagated through the optical fiber. The optical fiber is hung on the direction-changing member. The direction-changing member changes an extending direction of the optical fiber to extend downward, the optical fiber being optically connected to the light source and the light detector at each of two end parts of the optical fiber. The tension-applying member applies a tension to the optical fiber hanging from the direction-changing member.
