Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods, apparatus, and systems for perturbing a laser beam propagating within a first length of fiber to adjust one or more beam characteristics of the laser beam in the first length of fiber or a second length of fiber or a combination thereof, coupling the perturbed laser beam into a second length of fiber and maintaining at least a portion of one or more adjusted beam characteristics within a second length of fiber having.

Claim (Index 9):
A system for cutting a material using a laser, the system comprising:\n a laser device comprising a first length of fiber comprising a first refractive index profile (RIP) formed to enable modification of one or more beam characteristics of an laser beam by a perturbation device and a second length of fiber having a second RIP coupled to the first length of fiber, the second RIP formed to confine at least a portion of the modified beam characteristics of the laser beam within one or more confinement regions, wherein the first RIP and the second RIP are different, wherein the laser device is configured to direct the laser beam to a target location on the material to pierce a depth of the material by perturbing one or more beam characteristics of the laser beam; and a control system configured to change the first characteristic of the one or more beam characteristics to a second characteristic.
