Further, a laser optical fiber storage device (40,100) for temporarily storing a free end (12a) of an elongated flexible laser optical fiber (12) is provided with a clamp (42,123). A restric tor (32, 117a, 117b) within the storage housing reduces the inner diameter of the elongated flexible tube Further, a laser optical fiber storage device (40,100) for temporarily storing a free end (12a) of an elongated flexible laser optical fiber (12) is provided with a clamp (42.123). A storage housing (14,114) with an open end (116) has an elongated flexible tube (28,128) disposed therein to receive the elongated flexible laser optical fiber so as to prevent laser light from escaping the storage housing A restrictor (32, 117a, 117b) within the storage housing reduces the inner diameter of the elongated flexible tube. A laser optical fiber storage device for temporarily storing a free end of an elongated flexible laser optical fiber includes a storage housing having an open end.
To minimize both il and rl in fiber optic systems, precise alignment of fiber cores without any air gap between them is crucial Additionally, rl is managed during the manufacturing process by automated.
