Abstract
A system includes multiple laser diode modules that are spatially separated and configured to generate multiple optical beams that propagate at angles relative to each other. The system also includes an optical element having at least one entrance surface and at least one exit surface. The optical element is configured to receive the optical beams at the at least one entrance surface and output each optical beam through the at least one exit surface such that the output optical beams are closely spaced, substantially the same size, and substantially parallel to each other at a common distance downstream from the optical element, and the optical beams all share a common downstream image plane.
