Abstract
An optic device is placed in close proximity to multiple gain elements so as to selectively modify the divergence of the light from said multiple elements such that when the light is subsequently collimated and diffracted from a grating and focused into an optical fiber, it will have a predefined cross-section that matches the mode of the fiber. Using this system and method, a more efficient light transfer is achieved in an intracavity fiber coupled multigain element laser.
