Abstract:
In various embodiments, the beam parameter product and/or beam shape of a laser beam is adjusted by coupling the laser beam into an optical fiber of a fiber bundle and directing the laser beam onto one or more in-coupling locations on the input end of the optical fiber. The beam emitted at the output end of the optical fiber may be utilized to process a workpiece.

Claim (Index 82):
The system of  claim 68 , wherein at least one of the optical fibers comprises a step-clad optical fiber comprising (i) a central core having a first refractive index, (ii) surrounding the central core, a first cladding having a second refractive index, (iii) surrounding the first cladding, an annular core having a third refractive index, and (iv) surrounding the annular core, a second cladding having a fourth refractive index, wherein (i) the first refractive index is larger than the fourth refractive index, (ii) the third refractive index is larger than the fourth refractive index, and (iii) the second refractive index is smaller than the first refractive index and larger than the fourth refractive index.
