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 6):
A multi-fiber, multi-spot laser probe, comprising:\n a plurality of fibers extending from a proximal end of the laser probe to at least near a distal end of the laser probe, wherein the proximal end of the laser probe is configured to be coupled to a laser source via an adapter interface; 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; and a spacer arranged within the cannula along a portion of the laser probe at or near the distal end of the laser probe, the spacer being configured to guide at least one of the plurality of the fibers so that a distal portion of each of at least one of the plurality of fibers is oriented at an angle, relative to a longitudinal axis of the cannula.
