Abstract

A focusing optical system for a semiconductor laser-diode-array is described. The high-power array consists of a number of minuscule light sources (quantum wells) as well as a stratified structure, so that it requires several design techniques to focus as a pumping source for a laser-diode-pumped solid state laser. Some design techniques for such a focusing system are proposed with examples of the design of an anamorphic optical system.
