SHAPED FIBERS FOR EFFICIENT BEAM COMBINATION
In some implementations, a fiber optic combiner may comprise an enclosing tube having a geometric shape and multiple optical fibers bundled within the enclosing tube. In some implementations, the multiple fibers comprise at least one optical fiber having a core and a non-circular cladding surrounding the core. The non-circular cladding may cause the multiple optical fibers to have a larger tube fill factor and a lower expected beam parameter product increase factor relative to the multiple optical fibers all having circular claddings.
Light system for supplying light
A light system having a light supply arrangement, a Homogenizing Light Pipe (HLP) and a fiber bundle is disclosed. The light supply arrangement includes a light source and is arranged to supply light to an input end of the HLP. The HLP is configured for scrambling the received light and for delivering a beam of light to a common packed input end of the fiber bundle.
Coherent fiber bundle parallel optical links

LASER SYSTEMS UTILIZING FIBER BUNDLES FOR POWER DELIVERY AND BEAM SWITCHING
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.
