Laser-mechanical methods of optical fiber treatment for number of micro-optical components fabrication

Micro-optical fiber-tip components based on laser technology and their application in medicine

“…At least four species of FAs could be obtained with the technique described (Table 1) General optical and geometrical characterization: angle of irradiation as related to the fiber long axis (FA 4) 70 to 80°a ngle of irradiation as related to the fiber long axis (FA 5,6) 70 to 90°f ocus distance (FA 5,6) lens diameter focal spot dimeter 250-700 im Distinct patterns of energy distribution can also be seen in each type of the FAs processed for uni-lateral laser beam direction. In the types 4 and 6 of that FA species, flat-surface sides of the applicators could be received using a method of laser thermal splitting.…”

Optical Fiber Tips as Medical Tools Based on Laser Technology

“…In the present paper, a laser-assisted technology is proposed that permits to form a FA in a way that a certain intensity pattern at the output side of fiber is achieved by a well defined procedure. Preliminary results of the studies have been published previously by the same team [1,9,10].…”
