An optical communication system for transmitting multiple optical beams, each
at a different wavelength is disclosed. The optical communication system includes
a laser array having multiple laser transmitters transmitting multiple optical
beams, each at a different wavelength. The optical communication system further
includes a diffraction grating optically coupled to the laser array, the diffraction
grating diffracting each of the optical beams at a substantially equal diffraction
angle to form a combined optical beam. The combined beam is then focused into an
optical communication media.
