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 11):
An optical beam source, comprising:\n a set of laser diodes situated to have a fixed spacing along respective fast axes that are mutually parallel, each laser diode defined by a fast axis beam size less than 1.60 \u03bcm or a fast axis full width beam divergence of at least 48 degrees and having an emission region defining a fast axis and a slow axis, wherein fast axes of each of the laser diodes are mutually parallel and orthogonal to the stacking axis and slow axes of each of the laser diodes are mutually parallel and orthogonal to the stacking axis; fast axis collimators (FACs) and slow axis collimators (SACs) correspond to each of the laser diodes of the set, each of the FACs have a common focal length f FAC  and each of the SACs having a common focal length f SAC , wherein the FACs and SACs are situated to collimate optical beams emitted from respective emission regions of each of the laser diodes; an afocal telescope situated to receive the collimated beams and produce a fast axis beam spacing based on the predetermined spacing and a magnification M associated with the afocal telescope; and an objective lens situated to receive the beams from the afocal telescope and direct the beams to a focus.
