Abstract
A plurality of linear arrays of lasers are configured into an area array by optical coupling to a linear-to-area array by optical coupling to a linear-to-area fiber optic bundle. The linear face of the bundle is coupled to the linear array of lasers. By activating all the lasers simultaneously or selectively, a single high power output or high intensity signals at discrete addresses in the area face of the bundle are achieved respectively. Applications for high power, two dimensional laser devices, high definition display, solid state laser pumping and others are achieved.
