Abstract:
An apparatus for heat deposition in additive manufacturing may include: a first optical beam source configured to generate a first optical beam; a second optical beam source configured to generate a second optical beam; and/or an optical system. The optical system may be configured to move the generated first optical beam over a target area. The optical system may be further configured to move the generated second optical beam over the target area so that a path of the second optical beam moving over the target area is dithered about a path of the first optical beam moving over the target area. The optical system may be configured to focus the generated first optical beam at a plane of a target area. The optical system may be further configured to focus the generated second optical beam at the plane of the target area.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a first length of fiber having a first refractive-index profile (RIP); a second length of fiber, having a second RIP and one or more confinement regions, coupled to the first length of fiber; and a perturbation device configured to modify one or more beam characteristics of the first optical beam in the first length of fiber, in the second length of fiber, or in the first and second lengths of fiber; wherein the first RIP differs from the second RIP, and wherein the second length of fiber is configured to confine the modified one or more beam characteristics of the first optical beam within the one or more confinement regions of the second length of fiber.
