Abstract
A light-source includes a plurality of diode-laser bars. The diode-laser bars are arranged in a parallel array and arranged to emit laser-light in the same direction. The diode-laser bars are spaced-apart from each other in the emission-direction. Optical-waveguides are provided for collecting laser-light emitted from each of the diode-laser bars and delivering the collected laser-light to an output aperture of the light-source.
