Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical tap device. The optical tap device includes a cylinder having a rigid outer surface. A ferrule is configured to be located within the outer surface of the cylinder. The ferrule includes an inner chamber extending along a length of the ferrule. An emitter fiber and at least one tap fiber are located within the inner chamber. The emitter fiber is positioned within the inner chamber to be located at a central axis of a light source abutting the ferrule and the at least one tap fiber is positioned within the inner chamber to be located radial to the central axis of the light source abutting the ferrule. An optical feedback system and a method of providing optical feedback are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 14):
An optical tap feedback system comprising:\n a light source optically coupled the optical tap device of  claim 1 , wherein the light source is located proximate to the ferrule such that such that the emitter fiber is located at a central axis of the light source and the at least one tap fiber is positioned radial to the central axis of the light source; an optically responsive device optically coupled to the emitter fiber to receive a light beam emitted from the light source through the emitter fiber; a detector optically coupled to the at least one tap fiber to receive a portion of a light beam emitted from the light source through the at least one tap fiber; and a feedback computing device coupled to the detector and the light source, the feedback computing device comprising a processor and a memory coupled to the processor which is configured to execute one or more programmed instructions stored in the memory to:\n receive an intensity value for the portion of the light beam emitted from the light source through the at least one tap fiber; and \n provide a power adjustment to the light source based on the received intensity value.
