The optical coupler system is for coupling radiation from a plurality of radiation sources. The optical coupler system comprises a first optical coupler having at least a first and a second input and a first and a second output. The optical coupler also comprises a second optical coupler having at least a first and a second input and a first and a second output, wherein the first and second outputs of the first optical coupler are connected to the first and second inputs, respectively, of the second optical coupler via first and second optical links, and wherein the first and second links provide different optical paths between the first and second optical couplers such that portions of radiation energy that is input to the first input of the first optical coupler are combined incoherently at the first output of said second optical coupler.
