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.
