Optical fiber polishing block, stages of fiber preparation, and completed fiber tips and CW irradiation patterns. (a) Beveled fiber block allows for creation of 35° angle on distal fiber tip for light deflection. (b) Magnified image of proximal fiber tip before sanding or polishing. (c) Magnified fiber tip after polishing with 5-μm polishing film. (d) Magnified capped side-fire fiber tip (top) and CW irradiation pattern (bottom). (e) Magnified capped conical-tip fiber (top) and CW irradiation pattern (bottom).
