1. An apparatus comprising:
a high power laser light source; and a flexible optical fiber configured to receive light emitted from said high power laser light source, said flexible optical fiber including a homogenizing output portion having a tileable cross-section and including an output end, said output portion extending from said output end a predetermined length sufficient for producing a substantially homogenized intensity profile for high power laser light emitted therefrom, said flexible optical fiber also including an input portion having said tileable cross-section, wherein said tileable cross-section is constant throughout the length of said flexible optical fiber. |
