Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the positional accuracy at the tip of an optical fiber by adhering and fixing the optical fiber to a capillary having a precision hole in its central part and working the front end of the capillary to a specular surface by irradiation with a laser beam. CONSTITUTION:The optical fiber 1, the capillary 2 and an adhesive 3 fixing the optical fiber 1 and the capillary 2 are provided. After the optical fiber 1 is fixed by the adhesive 3 to the capillary 2, the front end of the capillary 2 is irradiated with the high-output pulse laser beam 4. The adhesive 3 is carbonized and is removed from the front end of the capillary 2 at this time. The optical fiber 1 is melted and is worked to the specular surface according to the shape at the front end of the capillary 2. High-output pulse lasers, such as YAG laser, CO2 laser and glass laser, are used as the laser beam 4.
