Abstract:
A probe tip for communicating and laterally directing electromagnetic radiation comprises a waveguide, a primary capsule, a compressible member and a malleable secondary capsule. The waveguide is configured to communicate electromagnetic radiation and includes a beveled surface at a distal tip for redirecting electromagnetic radiation in a lateral direction. The primary capsule is attached over the distal tip of the waveguide. The compressible member covers a portion of the primary capsule. The malleable secondary capsule is positioned over the primary capsule and the compressible member, and includes a crimp that compresses the compressible member against the primary capsule and secures the secondary capsule to the primary capsule.

Claim (Index 43):
An apparatus, comprising:\n an optical fiber comprising a core and a protective layer surrounding the core, the core comprising a distal tip that extends beyond the protective layer; a primary capsule over the distal tip of the core; a secondary capsule over the primary capsule; and a channel disposed between an outer circumferential surface of the primary capsule and an inner circumferential surface of the secondary capsule, wherein the channel extends only partially around the outer circumferential surface of the primary capsule in a circumferential direction.
