Angled fiber terminations and methods of making the angled fiber terminations. One aspect relates to an optical fiber support assembly. The assembly comprises a substrate with a hole formed in the substrate. The hole comprises at least one non-circular opening. The hole is configured to receive a tip of a fiber such that an angle between an axis of the fiber tip and a normal of a surface of the substrate is greater than zero.

A pump comprises a first thermal guard having holes therethrough for passing a gas, a second thermal guard having holes therethrough for passing the gas, a porous thermal transpiration material disposed between the first thermal guard and the second thermal guard, and a heating mechanism to maintain a temperature difference between the thermal guards across the thermal transpiration material.
