Thanks to many people who replied, both on and off list.

To summarize:

I received a number of replies identifying the QI-Optiq kineFLEX fiber 
as the fiber that Leia uses. I also received a suggestion to get teh 
fiebr built by Oz Optics.

Concerning the laser, apparently it is possible for the 488 line to lase 
into a different mode. I have not yet measured the power in the 
individual lines before the AOTF, but I will need to do it. Probably I 
will find a prism to disperse the lines so that I can measure them 
separately.
