  • Side-firing laser optical fiber probe and method of making same
    Patent number: 5537499
    Abstract: A laser optical fiber probe has a silica fiber core with an end terminating in an inclined surface. A silica capsule encloses the end of the fiber and locates the end of the fiber in a gas chamber. Localized heat fuses the end of the fiber opposite the inclined surface to the capsule thereby eliminating secondary light reflections.
