Abstract: An apparatus includes a camera, a dark field illumination source, and a fiber inspection housing including a fiber connector input situated to receive an optical fiber connector so that an optical fiber output end of the optical fiber connector is removably insertable into an interior region of the fiber inspection housing and securable at a predetermined location in the interior region, a camera input situated to receive and secure the camera so that the camera is in optical communication with the interior region and the optical fiber output end, and a dark field illumination source input situated to receive the dark field illumination source so that light emitted from the dark field illumination source is received by the optical fiber output end at a dark field illumination angle and is scattered by contamination or defects associated with the optical fiber output end so as to be detectable by the camera.

Abstract: A laser module service shelf is generally presented. In some embodiments, a laser system includes a rack including a stack of slots to support a plurality of laser modules in first positions within the rack, wherein the rack comprises a pair of struts extending at opposite sides of an opening in the rack through which the laser modules may pass, and a module service shelf attachable to the struts to support a weight of one of the laser modules in a second position that is cantilevered from the rack in alignment with the opening and one of the slots, wherein the module service shelf comprises a plurality of detachable sections. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A laser system including a rack, a plurality of laser modules mounted in the rack to drive light through an optical fiber exiting the system, and a power distribution module to distribute electricity through circuit branches coupled to the laser modules is generally presented. In some embodiments, the rack includes a horizontal cross-member with a bottom rack flange extending vertically and defining a bottom of an opening in the rack. In some embodiments, the power distribution module includes an enclosure disposed in the rack opening, a face of the enclosure including a bottom lip to engage an edge of the bottom rack flange as a fulcrum point over a range to allow the enclosure to pivot between first and second pivot angles relative to the rack, one or more rails mounted within the enclosure, and one or more circuit components associated with each circuit branch disposed within the enclosure, each of the components including a rail-mount by which the component is affixed to the one or more rails, and a plurality of electrical cables coupling the power distribution module to the laser modules. In some embodiments, the one or more rails comprise a first and second rail bifurcating an interior volume of the enclosure into front and back volumes, and the one or more components further comprise a first component mounted to the first rail and occupying a portion of the front volume and a second component mounted to the second rail and occupying a portion the back volume. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
