Abstract
One of the major problems in diode-pumped solid state lasers is the limited brightness of the pump source. A common technique to increase the brightness is to couple the light of two diode lasers using a polarization sensitive optic. This technique has an obvious disadvantage— it will not work with unpolarized sources, such as fiber coupled diode lasers.
