TL;DR: In this paper, a method for coupling a diode laser to an optical fiber was described, which uses a cylindrical glass fibre as a focusing element and showed that optical feedback from the fiber endface has an influence on the laser output power.
Abstract: A new method for coupling a diode laser to an optical fibre is described. This uses a cylindrical glass fibre as a focusing element. Optical feedback from the fibre endface has been found to have an influence on the laser output power. As a result, the light power launched into a single-mode fibre was higher than that obtainable from the laser during normal operation.
