Abstract

See full text

Provided herein is an apparatus for optically isolating a light beam from a laser, comprising an optical isolator configured to isolate a light beam having a beam quality; a reference plane; an output connector disposed at the output of the optical isolator, wherein the output connector is configured with a common collimator interface to connect to a collimator which is capable of being mechanically referenced to the reference plane; a first lens arrangement disposed proximal to a distal end of the output connector, wherein the first lens arrangement is selected to provide an output light beam having a predetermined divergence. The laser can be selected from the group consisting of a fiber laser, a disk laser and a rod laser. Also provided herein are a system, a plurality of lasers, and a method of providing a light beam that has a consistent divergence and distance from a reference plane.
