Abstract:
In various embodiments, wavelength beam combining systems feature multiple beam emitters each emitting an individual beam, as well as multiple micro-optics arrangements each disposed optically downstream from a beam emitter to intercept the beam emitted thereby and direct the beam toward a dispersive element for combination into a multi-wavelength output beam.

Claim (Index 24):
A multi-wavelength beam combining laser system for combining a plurality of beams along a beam combining dimension into a multi-wavelength beam comprising optical radiation having a plurality of wavelengths, the laser system comprising:\n a plurality of beam emitters each emitting a beam, each beam including a chief ray; a combining optical element arranged to receive the plurality of beams, and cause the chief ray of each beam to converge along the beam combining dimension, wherein the combining optical element has a focal length; a dispersive element, positioned along the beam combining dimension, to (i) receive the plurality of chief rays transmitted by the combining optical element, (ii) disperse the chief rays along the beam combining dimension, and (iii) transmit the dispersed chief rays; and a partially reflective output coupler arranged to receive the dispersed chief rays transmitted by the dispersive element, to reflect a portion of the dispersed chief rays toward the dispersive element, and to transmit the multi-wavelength beam, wherein (i) the combining optical element is disposed at a first optical distance, traversed by the beams, away from the plurality of beam emitters, (ii) the combining optical element is disposed at a second optical distance, traversed by the beams, away from the dispersive element, and (iii) one of the first or second optical distances is less than the focal length.
