Abstract
A miniature gas discharge lamp having a direct physical connection with an end portion of an external optical fiber. Light generated within the lamp is directed against an end face of the optical fiber to cause light rays to travel within and along the fiber. The lamp has an elongated straight passage for containment of a radiation-producing gas, the passage being axially aligned with the optical fiber so that substantially all of the photon energy generated within the passage is optically connected to the end face of the fiber.
