Abstract
An optical system couples laser light into an optical fiber, such as a optical amplifier fiber, from the side of the fiber by side-pumping of the fiber that is in contact with the laser such that refracted laser light is redirected into and through the fiber using direct attachment of a laser, such as a high-power laser diode, to the inner cladding of a fiber.
