Abstract
In a method of assembling a laser probe tip, an optical fiber comprising an optical fiber core and silica glass cladding surrounding the core is provided. A fiber cap formed of silica glass is also provided. Silicone oil is applied to a surface of the cladding at a distal end of the optical fiber or an interior surface of the fiber cap. The distal end of the optical fiber is inserted into the interior cavity of the fiber cap. The silicone oil is then converted into silica glass, which bonds the fiber cap to the optical fiber.
