1. A system for determining the amount of light (EMR) output from an optical fiber bundle including at least one optical fiber interconnected to a light (EMR) source, said system comprising:

  • at least one parasitic fiber positioned adjacent to said at least one optical fiber for receiving and transmitting light (EMR) received from said at least one optical fiber; and

    a detector coupled to said at least one parasitic fiber for measuring the amount of Light (EMR) transmitted thereby, wherein said detector is coupled to said light (EMR) source and includes circuitry for adjusting the intensity of said light (EMR) source in response to the intensity of light detected in said parasitic fiber.
