    Abstract: A small diameter multimode optical fiber (26) with a low numerical aperture (i.e., 0.1) is used as a microlens to collimate the output emissions of a laser diode emitters (12,14 and 16) before butt coupling the output of the laser diode array to an optical fiber bundle (24). The optical fiber used as the microlens is chosen such that its diameter roughly equals the diameter of the fibers (18,20,22) to be coupled to the laser diode emitters (12,14,16). The collimation is performed in the high NA direction of the output of the laser diode. The output of a bundle of butt coupled optical fibers may be used to pump a laser system.
