Abstract
An optical interface means for non-permanent passive coupling of light between two optically transparent media comprises a support member (3), and at least one shaped body (6) of an optically transparent elastic material supported thereby and adapted to resiliently contact said solid medium or media, said elastic material having a matching refractive index in respect of said media.
Claims8
An optical interface for repeated non-permanent passive coupling of light between two optically transparent media, at least one of these media being solid comprising:
- at least one reusable, shaped body of an optically transparent elastic material adapted to resiliently contact said solid media, said optically transparent elastic material having a refractive index matched to a refractive index of said solid media;
- and
- a support member for supporting said at least one reusable, shaped body;
- wherein said support member is at least partially optically transparent and said at least one reusable, shaped body is attached on at least one side to said support member to form at least one light coupling path.
