Abstract
A sequential electromechanical system capable of delivering the radiat ion coming from a medium power Nd:YAG laser to an array of multimode o ptical fibres is presented. The system utilizes GRIN-rad microlenses a s focusing-collimating optics. A focusing unit positioned at the fibre distal-end, which can work in two different configurations, has also been designed and constructed.
