摘要： A method of coupling a high-power optical signal between an optical fiber (502) and a mating optical component, the optical signal having a first diameter while propagating in a mode field within the fiber, the method comprising: (a) converting the high-power optical signal between the first diameter in the fiber and a second diameter using a collimator (503) optically coupled to the fiber (502), the second diameter being significantly greater than the first diameter; and (b) while the high-power optical signal is at the second diameter, optically coupling it between the lens (503) and the mating optical component.
