A high power expanded beam and methods for making and using the high power expanded beam connector (100) are described herein. Basically, the high power expanded beam connector includes a first lensed optical fiber (116) that is optically coupled to a second lensed optical fiber (118) but physically separated from the second lensed optical fiber. The first lensed optical fiber (116) is capable of expanding a light beam traveling therein and outputting a collimated light beam. The second lensed optical fiber (118) is capable of receiving the collimated light beam and focusing the received light beam such that the light beam travels from the first lensed optical fiber (116) to the second lensed optical fiber (118). In a similar manner, the high power expanded beam connector can transmit a light beam from the second lensed optical fiber (118) to the first lensed optical fiber (116).
