Abstract
In some implementations, an emitter module may include an emitter array that includes multiple emitters, and an optical fiber that includes multiple cores within a single cladding. The emitter array may be optically coupled to a tip of the optical fiber such that each emitter, of the multiple emitters of the emitter array, is optically coupled to a respective core of the multiple cores of the optical fiber. The optical fiber may include an integral lens at the tip of the optical fiber. The integral lens at the tip of the optical fiber may be in alignment with the multiple cores of the optical fiber.
