Abstract
A laser systemcomprises six solid state diode laser modulestowhose output beams are directly coupled into beam steering devicestoand thereby routed to laser combining dichroic mirrorstowhich combine the individual laser beams into a single, co-aligned beam. The combined laser beam is directed into an optical fiberfor delivery to a target optical instrument such as a microscope. The output beam from delivery optical fiberis coupled to the target instrument via fiber output collimating optics The output of each of the diode laserstois controlled by direct modulation of the lasers' control (drive) currents.
