A method of observing the aim or effect of a laser beam on a target which fluoresces upon irradiation with a laser beam uses the laser beam to provide light for observing the target, but shields the observer from the laser beam. The method comprises irradiating with a laser beam a target which fluoresces upon exposure to the laser beam and blocking the reflected or scattered laser light from the observer while passing the light from the target fluorescence to the observer for viewing the aim or effect of the laser beam on the target.

Disclosed is a fiber optic fiber transmission line which transmits light a distance from its source and is terminated, at its light delivery end, by a second fiber optic fiber of a larger diameter than the first fiber. An interlocking connector keeps the first and second fiber in positive contact in an efficient light energy transmission relationship. A plurality of second fibers form a set of tips for use in causing light convergence or divergence at the transmission line output.
