Abstract:
1. A light source for optical excitation of a laser device, comprising: a diode laser having a plurality of emitters; and a light-guiding device including a plurality of optical fibers each having a first end and a lateral surface, the first ends being situated relative to the emitters in such a manner that light generated by the emitters is coupled into the first ends of the optical fibers, wherein the optical fibers are arranged in abutting relationship along the lateral surfaces at least in the region of the first ends, and wherein the optical fibers are connected in the region of the first ends to a fiber support; wherein the fibers include at least one first type of glass and the fiber support includes at least one second type of glass, and wherein the softening temperature of the second type of glass is higher than the softening temperature of the first type of glass.
