Claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a multi-spot optical surgical probe, comprising: depositing an optical adhesive in a cannula for a handpiece including at least one light guide configured to carry a light beam from a light source through the handpiece, the optical adhesive being deposited around a spherically symmetric ball lens; forming the optical adhesive to produce a faceted face having planar facets oriented at an oblique angle with a path of the light beam, the faceted face being spaced apart from a distal end of the light guide; curing the optical adhesive; and assembling the cannula with the handpiece to form a multi-spot generator that includes the optical adhesive at a distal end of the handpiece, wherein the multi-spot generator is configured to split the light beam into multiple beam-components and to redirect the beam-components to multiple separate spots.
