The light output of a LD is effectively collected, pre collimated with a cylindrical lens, and coupled into a multi-mode fibre. The emitting width and lasing wavelength of the LD is 150 μm and 808 nm, the coupling efficiency between the LD and a 200 μm core diameter fibre with flat end is greater than 90%, and more than 1.0 W CW output from the fibre has been achieved. Also, main factors affecting the coupling efficiency are analysed.
