Abstract

A laser device includes a glass optical fiber secured in position to capture light output from the laser. The fiber is secured in position with solder directly to the glass of the fiber without any metallization of the fiber. The solder-only technique satisfies the critical requirement for preventing fiber movement over the lifetime standard for laser device with multimade lasers and multimode fibers.
