Abstract
An adapter is disclosed which is suitable for connecting a light guide end piece to a coupling device of a light source of high intensity, particularly of a medical laser apparatus. The adaptor has a first section 2 which can be fixed in the coupling device 11 as well as a second section 3 which can be axially slid with respect to the first section 2. The second section 3 carries an input lens system 4 and, when the light guide end piece 20 is pushed in, is axially displaced from the first I to a second II position and locked there. Safety devices of the laser apparatus which prevent a start of the operation without any inserted light guide are switched only in the second position II.
