Abstract
An apparatus for transmitting laser light and redirecting the light laterally relative to an axis of the apparatus includes an optical fiber having a core and a cladding surrounding the core. The core terminates at a core end. The cladding terminates at a cladding end spaced from the core end to expose an exposed length of the core. A tubular member surrounds at least a distal portion of the fiber and has a closed distal end. The exposed length of the core is bent for the core end to oppose a side of said tubular member. The core end is bonded to the side of the tubular member. A seal creates a sealed volume of the tubular member surrounding said exposed length. The volume may contain a vacuum or a gas such as air.
