Abstract
The disclosure relates to an optical terminator device suitable for terminating high energy optical signals. The device includes a heat sink cap having an internal surface. An optical absorbing layer is positioned on the internal surface of the heat sink cap. A scattering core having a fiber or waveguide connection is positioned within the heat sink cap such that a thermal barrier is maintained between the optical absorbing layer and the scattering core.
