Abstract:
A method includes generating a multimode laser beam having an initial beam parameter product (bpp) and directing the multimode laser beam to an input end of a fiber so as to produce an output beam at an output of the fiber with a final bpp that is greater than the initial bpp. Another method includes measuring a base bpp associated with a multimode laser beam generated from a laser source and emitted from an output fiber output end, determining a bpp increase for the multimode laser beam, and selecting a bpp increasing optical fiber having an input end and an output end so that the multimode laser beam with the base bpp coupled to the input end has an output bpp at the output end of the bpp increasing optical fiber corresponding to the determined bpp increase.

Claim (Index 9):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a laser source situated to generate a laser beam and having an associated beam parameter product; an output fiber optically coupled to the laser source and having a refractive index defining an output fiber core diameter and situated to receive the laser beam from the laser source; and a beam parameter product (bpp) increasing fiber having a core diameter corresponding to the output fiber core diameter and optically coupled to the output fiber so as to receive the laser beam from the output fiber and to increase the beam parameter product of the laser beam to a selected value based on a refractive index profile of the bpp increasing fiber.
