Laser - Fiber Interface

Hi! Does anyone have a diagram or picture of how to add a glass fiber to the output of a 445nm diode?

Thanks!

I think the best way is to focus it into the fiber after you've corrected the eliptical beam. Just match the NA of the fiber. Butt coupling the fiber probably isn't a good idea, you'd need to decan the diode for that.

Thanks Bluefan! That's what I figured, I just thought there might be a more "elegant" way.
