    The diagram illustrates a fiber laser amplification system that boosts a seed laser diode input of approximately 3 watts to approximately 1,000 watts output. Multiple pump laser diodes feed into a '6 plus 1 combiner' which channels energy into a coiled amplifying fiber section. The amplified output travels through a core fiber and is directed to a spectral combiner.

    Combined-fiber lasers show great potential for use in laser weapon systems on tactical and combat platforms because they convert electrical power efficiently to power on target. However, today’s fiber laser modules are limited to a little over a kilowatt. So, to reach higher power levels, the individual fiber laser modules must be combined into one beam. This diagram shows how the combination process works. (SOURCE: SMDC/ARSTRAT)
