Methods, devices, and systems for welding optical fibers and perforated elements by pulsed laser beam are provided. In one aspect, a method includes focusing a pulsed laser beam onto a region of a joining surface formed by an outer circumference of an optical fiber and an inner circumference of a hole of a perforated element, a beam direction of the pulsed laser beam running in an axial direction of the joining surface, and moving a laser focus of the pulsed laser beam in the region axially in or counter to the beam direction to produce at least one weld seam in the region. The optical fiber and the perforated element are locally melted in the region by the pulsed laser beam focused into a material of the optical fiber and a material of the perforated element and are thereby welded to one another.
