Abstract:
A number of beams that can be coupled into an optical fiber can be increased using emitted beams having greater divergence, thus providing increased beam power. Alternatively, with a fixed number of emitters, total optical power can be maintained with fewer beams in an output beam with a smaller numerical aperture.

Claim (Index 20):
A method, comprising:\n based on fixed separations along fast axis directions and a number of laser diodes, selecting at least one of an emitted beam fast axis divergence, an emitted beam fast axis size, or a fast axis waveguide thickness so as to couple a combined beam having a selected power, a selected numerical aperture, or both into an optical fiber; situating the number of laser diodes at the fixed separations and directing emitted beams from each of the laser diodes to the optical fiber with corresponding fast and slow axis collimators, a fast axis telescope, and an objective lens.
