  • Beam forming device for laser diode arrays
    Patent number: 9001426
    Abstract: A device forms laser radiation which has partial beams interspaced in a first direction that is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the laser radiation, especially for forming laser radiation which is emitted by a laser diode bar. The device contains a plurality of reflective surfaces on which at least one of the interspaced partial beams can be reflected in such a manner that the distances of the partial beams are smaller relative to each other after reflection than before reflection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 21, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2015

  • Device for forming laser radiation
    Patent number: 8639071
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming laser radiation. The apparatus can form the laser radiation such that the laser radiation can enter an optical fiber. The apparatus contains a first lens device for deflection and/or imaging or collimation of the laser radiation with respect to a first direction, and a second lens device for deflection and/or imaging or collimation of the laser radiation with respect to a second direction. The first and the second lens devices are provided in or on a component.
