Abstract
An optical transmitter (1) comprises a semiconductor laser optical source (14) housed in an optical fibre connector component. An optical baffle (8) such as a short section of optical fibre ensures that only minimal power is emitted to the environment when the transmission fibre (6) is withdrawn from the connector.
