METHODS AND APPARATUS RELATED TO A DISTAL END OF A SIDE-FIRE OPTICAL FIBER HAVING MULTIPLE CAPILLARY COMPONENTS
摘要
In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a first capillary component V(220). A second capillary component V(230) may be disposed outside of the first capillary component and may have an inner surface, wherein a portion of the inner surface may be heat- fused to an outer surface of the first capillary component. The apparatus may also include a portion of an optical fiber V(210) disposed inside of the first capillary component and the portion of the optical fiber can have an outer surface. A portion of the outer surface of the optical fiber may be heat-fused to an inner surface of the first capillary component. The optical fiber may have a distal surface (217) configured to reflect electromagnetic radiation propagated along a longitudinal axis of a distal end portion of the optical fiber in a lateral direction through the inner surface of the first capillary component and the inner surface of the second capillary component.
