Abstract:
An example multi-fiber, multi-spot laser probe comprises a plurality of fibers extending from a proximal end of the laser probe to at least near a distal end of the laser probe, where the proximal end of the laser probe is configured to be coupled to a laser source via an adapter interface, and a cannula having a distal end and surrounding the plurality of fibers along at least a portion of the laser probe at or near the distal end of the laser probe, where a distal end of each of the plurality of fibers is angle-polished so that the distal end of each fiber is angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the cannula and relative to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cannula. Additional embodiments employ lensed fibers, a distal window, ball lens, lens array, or faceted wedge.

Claim (Index 10):
The multi-fiber, multi-spot laser probe of  claim 6 , wherein the spacer is configured to bend a distal portion of each of one or more of the plurality of fibers angularly, in corresponding offset planes relative to orthogonal central planes intersecting the longitudinal axis of the cannula, so that beams emitted from the distal ends of the fibers diverge.
