Oh, boy.........
I don't have time to 'splain all of this, but I would not use glass fiber unless it is at least 1 km long. That is what the laser diodes are designed to work into. Shorter lengths cause too much light to reflect back. Before you flame me, go ask the manufacturers of the laser diode transmitters. That stuff was designed for telecom use, and I don't know of many in the high-end biz that come from telecom. The result is that few in the biz really understand it. They just pretend that they do.
