Abstract
A precision light-guiding terminal for optical fibers or optical fiber bundles consisting of a terminal (34) with an insertion duct (28) for receiving the end portion of an optical fiber (20) or optical fiber bundle (52), an input face (30) for in-coupling of a light (38) guided by the optical fiber (20) or optical fiber bundle (52), a light-guiding tip (40) for shaping guiding and performing optical operations on the light (38), and an output face (42) for out-coupling of the light (38).
