Abstract
The present invention relates generally to high brightness optical fiber systems and, more particularly to optical fiber systemshaving an optical power moduleremote from an initial amplifier stage. In one aspect of the invention, the optical fiber system comprises a first active optical fiberoperatively coupled to one or more first pump sources; a first signal optical fibercoupled to the first active optical fiber; one or more final pump sources; one or more final pump optical fibers, coupled to one or more of the final pump sources; and spatially separated from the one or more final pump sourcesand the initial amplifier stagecomprising the first active optical fiber, a power module, comprising a final active optical fiber, coupled to the first signal optical fiber, said final active optical fiberbeing coupled to said one or more final pump optical fibers
