Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005078492A1] The invention relates to a novel two dimensional optical structures for combining the outputs of a plurality of light sources. These structures combine the output of multiple light sources through any one or combination of spatial, polarization, and wavelength multiplexing in a monolithic optical element. The construction of these elements is such that they can be mass produced utilizing traditional glass fiber fabrication techniques resulting in small per unit cost. Furthermore, these optical structures can be employed in the construction very efficient and inexpensive systems for collecting and concentrating the light output of laser diode bars and other light sources.
