Abstract
A side-fire laser fiber (102) includes an optical fiber (112) having a distal end (116) and a fiber cap (114). The fiber cap is coupled to the distal end of the optical fiber and includes a molded reflective surface (130) and a sealed cavity (132A or 132B). The molded reflective surface defines a wall of the cavity. Laser energy discharged from the distal end along a central axis (124) of the optical fiber is reflected off the molded reflective surface in a direction that is transverse to the central axis.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A side-fire laser fiber comprising:
