Abstract:
Assemblies, optical connectors, and methods for bonding optical fibers to a substrate using a laser beam are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of bonding an optical fiber to a substrate includes directing a laser beam into the optical fiber disposed on a surface of the substrate, wherein the optical fiber has a curved surface and the curved surface of the optical fiber focuses the laser beam to a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the laser beam as it enters the optical fiber. The method further includes melting, using the laser beam, a material of the substrate at a bond area between the optical fiber and the surface of the substrate such that the optical fiber is bonded to the surface of the substrate.

Claim (Index 6):
The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises glass.
