title: Fiber-optic contact microsoldering device.
abstract: A fiber-optic contact microsoldering device was demonstrated. It consists of a crystalline fiber with a tapered absorbing tip grown directly onto one end. A tapered tip with a 20-mum end enables the soldering of components with lead spacing as small as 50 mum.
