Abstract: A laser system includes a first source and a second source for generating a first laser beam and a second laser beam, respectively, and a mirror arrangement including a first interleaving laser mirror with a high reflecting area configured to reflect the first laser beam and a first high transmitting area configured to transmit the second laser beam.

Abstract: A laser system includes at least two sources configured to provide at least two spatially separated laser beams, and a mount configured to mount the at least two sources along an arc, the arc defining an angular coordinate and a radial coordinate, wherein an axial coordinate is orthogonal to the angular coordinate and the radial coordinate, and the spatially separated laser beams are separated in the axial coordinate. The mount is further configured to mount the at least two sources providing thereby an offset of the laser beams in the axial coordinate such that the laser beams interleave in the axial direction at a center region of the arc.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector includes a sleeve having a first end surface, an abutment having a second end surface, the abutment being located within the sleeve and axially movable within the sleeve, and at least three balls located between the first end surface and the second end surface within the sleeve for clamping an optical fiber, the balls having centers disposed in a plane and being axially and radially displaceable in the sleeve and biased radially inwardly toward a central axis of the sleeve. At least one of the first end surface and the second end surface includes a conical surface.
