Abstract

See full text

An improved power meter for measuring the energy and wavelength of light emanating from an optical fiber. The meter is an integrating sphere having a source aperture for receiving the tip of an optical fiber and coupling the light from the tip into the sphere's central cavity. The source aperture is modified to include a sterilizable, liquid-fillable insert which mimics the optical environment within tissue. The sphere also has improved baffling and the sensitivity of wavelength verification is improved by means of a rotatable interference filter placed between an exit aperture and a light detector.
