Abstract: In a connection assembly comprising a male contact and a female contact, the female contact comprises a plurality of elastic blades extending longitudinally along a central axis parallel to a direction of insertion. Each of these blades comprises two bent contact zones to form, respectively, a first and a second contact surfaces that are convex and essentially oriented towards the central axis on each of these bent zones. The first contact surface is situated closer than the second contact surface to the free end of the blade on which they are formed.

Abstract: An optical fiber for use in a Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) endoscope, comprising a core guiding lightwaves at a pump wavelength and at a Stokes wavelength, the core being single-mode at both wavelengths. The core is surrounded by cladding layers, including an inner cladding layer, a trench cladding layer, an intermediate cladding layer and an outer cladding layer. The refractive index of the trench cladding layer is lower than those of both neighboring cladding layers so as to define a trench in the radial refractive-index profile. The bending losses of the fundamental LP01 mode of the fiber at the Stokes wavelength are limited while maintaining high confinement losses for the higher-order LP11 mode of the fiber at the pump wavelength. The combination of the intermediate and outer cladding layers forms a multimode waveguide for guiding a collected CARS signal generated by an object or medium probed with the endoscope.
