  • Optical Coupler for Rotating Catheter
    Publication number: 20100129027
    Abstract: An optical coupler for coupling to a rotating catheter has a housing with a rotatable distal face and a stationary proximal face. The distal face has an eccentric port and a central port. A lens is disposed inside the housing to intercept a rotating collection beam emerging from the eccentric port and to re-direct the collection beam to a focus proximal to the lens as the collection beam rotates. A beam re-director disposed between the lens and the distal face is oriented to direct a delivery beam toward the central port.
    Type: Application

  • Optical coupler for rotating catheter
    Publication number: 20040111032
    Abstract: An optical coupler guides one or more rotating second beams from an eccentric port to a fixed point on a detector. The coupler includes a housing having a distal face with an eccentric port. A central relay located inside the housing guides the rotating second beams to the fixed point on the detector.
