  • Two-channel multimode rotary joint
    Patent number: 7724996
    Abstract: An optical two-channel rotary joint that is also suitable for coupling of single-mode fibers comprises two housing parts that are rotatable relative to each other. Each of these housing parts accommodates a light-waveguide for supplying light and a light-waveguide for withdrawing light. The arrangement has two optical paths adapted to operate in opposite directions, with each light-waveguide for supplying light being coupled with a light-waveguide for withdrawing light. Furthermore, one focuser is disposed on each of the light-waveguides for supplying light, which focuses the light of the light-waveguide for supplying light onto the corresponding light-waveguide for withdrawing light.
