An optical fiber holder includes a first holder having a first upper surface and a first lower surface. The optical fiber holder is configured to be in contact with a working station through the first lower surface. Further, the optical fiber holder can include a second holder having a second upper surface and a second lower surface. The second holder can be operably attached to the first holder through the second lower surface. Also, the second holder is configured to rotate with respect to the first holder. Further, the optical fiber holder can include a third holder having plurality of holes therethrough configured to receive a respective plurality of optical fibers. The third holder can include a plurality of protrusions operably coupled to the second holder and configured to enable the third holder to move with respect to the second holder.

Scalable and fully-adjustable multiple fiber holder

An apparatus includes a base that includes a raised surface and a first opening through the raised surface. The apparatus also includes a cover configured to be coupled to the base in order to form a cavity, where the cover includes a second opening through the cover. The raised surface is configured to allow passage of a first portion of optical energy through the first opening and to reflect a second portion of the optical energy. Portions of the cover and the base surrounding the cavity are configured to absorb the reflected second portion of the optical energy. The base may further include one or more baffles positioned around the raised surface, and/or the cover may further include one or more baffles positioned around the second opening.

Integrated beam scraper and power dump

A system includes a beam splitter, camera, and a position sensitive detector (PSD). The beam splitter splits a beam ensemble into a first beam portion and a second beam portion. The camera PSD detects an image profile of the first beam portion. The PSD detects a position of the second beam portion.
