Fiber Array Lens
In astronomical telescopes, one sometimes uses optical fibers to transport light from the telescope to other devices for further analysis, e. Laser diode arrays, also called diode bars, contain a regular array of laser emitters. Various techniques of laser material processingmay be performed with much increased processing speed by using a kind of parallelization, where multiple spots on the sample are irradiated at the same time, each with radiation from one fiber in an array. For arrays with limited size, the whole radiation can be treated with a single optics set.
