In some implementations, a high-brightness combiner comprises a fiber bundle that comprises a plurality of optical fibers associated with a packing geometry that defines a shape of an outer periphery of the fiber bundle. The high-brightness combiner further comprises a capillary structure, comprising a glass enclosure surrounding the fiber bundle, wherein the capillary structure includes an outer periphery, and an inner periphery with a shape that corresponds to the shape of the outer periphery of the fiber bundle.
