Detachable connection between a light-guide fiber and a laser

摘要

A detachable connection between a light-guide fiber and a laser suited particularly for medical purposes comprises two coupling elements. In the light exit opening of the first coupling element an optical coupling system is arranged which is connected to the former and can be adjusted parallel and/or perpendicularly to the optical axis. The first coupling element comprises a device for generating an axial force on the second coupling element. Between the first and second coupling elements, contact surfaces with high thermal conductvity are provided, by means of which heat is transferred in the coupled condition from the second coupling element to the first coupling element.
