Abstract
The invention relates to an optical manifold permitting a single pumping source to be utilized to selectively pump a plurality of laser sources. Switching of the emission from the pumping source to the laser source is accomplished by a plurality of FTIR switches. A second group of FTIR switches is utilized to switch the output beams of the laser sources to a common output path.
