An optical coupler for coupling to a rotating catheter has a housing with
a rotatable distal face and a stationary proximal face. The distal face
has an eccentric port and a central port. A lens is disposed inside the
housing to intercept a rotating collection beam emerging from the
eccentric port and to re-direct the collection beam to a focus proximal
to the lens as the collection beam rotates. A beam re-director disposed
between the lens and the distal face is oriented to direct a delivery
beam toward the central port.
