Abstract
A fiber-optic arrangement for additive mixing of a plurality of light bundles comprises individual light-conducting cores for guiding laser light bundles independently and separately from one another, wherein each of the cores has a light entry location and a light exit location. The light-conducting cores are enclosed by a common cladding and are arranged so as to run alongside one another within said cladding. Propagation directions of the light bundles are identical in all cores. Light exit locations of all cores are arranged in a common plane oriented at a right angle to the propagation direction. The lateral distance between every two cores at the light exit locations are smaller than the lateral distance between the same cores at the light entry locations.
