ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses an optical fiber connect/disconnect for power lasers. The connect/disconnect should allow a laser/fiber user to quickly interface fiber injection input and fiber output couplers while providing electrical and optical alignment. The connect/disconnect also offers a fail safe connection in that the laser should not transmit any power unless and until electrical interlocks and optical alignments are completed.
