A refocused xenon short arc lamp would produce the highest continuous
(time and wavelength) energy density of any practical source I'm aware
of. Melting the end of the fiber from the energy absorbed in the
cladding will set the upper limit of the amount of power you can couple.
Bandpass and spatial filtering and perhaps liquid cooling of the
fiber end could raise the level where damage occurs.
How much energy do you actually need in the fiber core across that
bandwidth?
