β¦ Synopsis
A novel optical element is presented and applied for beam concentration and homogenization of laser diode (LD) bar. It consists of a tapered SiO 2 -rod with twisted surfaces which is designed and optimized by the optical system design software and fabricated by a curved surface grinder and an optical polishing lathe. Results show that a rectangular output beam spot with uniform intensity distributions both at slow and fast axis is obtained at the output facet of the rod and the beam size is only 1.3 mm * 0.8 mm.

The thermally induced deformation of different copper mirrors for infrared laser beams was simulated using a finite element method. The deformation is highly dependent on the mirror design. Several mirror designs with different cooling arrangements have been simulated. A mirror design with a set of
