As many as 127 diode lasers at 447 nm were coupled into 400 μm/0.22 NA fibers using an aspherical lens group with different focus lengths. The bare fibers were mechanically bundled through high temperature ultraviolet adhesive after the coatings of the 127 fibers were stripped. The diameter of the fiber bundle was 6 mm. The total output power of such a bundle was 152 W with electro-optical conversion efficiency of 27.56%and the RMS power instability was less than ±1% within 3 h.展开更多
