  • Abstract
    An effective technique for coupling the output of diode laser bars into optical fiber is demonstrated. The beam shaping method is based on stripe mirrors. Coupling with overall efficiency of 88% into a 365 μm fiber core diameter and 0.15 numerical aperture is achieved and the brightness is up to 430 kW/cm2.
