Fiber Coupling of Kilowatt Level High Power Laser Based on Mini-bars

High power laser is a developing trend,due to the limitations of semiconductor lasers,using fiber coupling method to improve beam quality is very important for fiber coupling research of semiconductor lasers,especially high-power semiconductor lasers. So the laser diode array of kilowatts-level fiber-coupled modules were studied and analyzed. The simulation of semiconductor laser fiber coupling module based on mini-bar,with 36 mini-bar output power of semiconductor laser 80W are composed of two column space stacks as the coupling light source,which is ef-ficient by collimating,combining and focusing. The laser is coupled into the core diameter of 300mm with the numeri-cal aperture of 0.22 of the fiber. The final output power of the system is 2849.3W,fiber coupling efficiency is more than 98%.
