Single emitter fiber coupled modules offers unique advantage for use in fiber laser systems due to their higher power-conversion efficiency (PCE) and proven reliability. The higher PCE of the laser diode pump directly translates to higher PCE of the fiber laser, which leads to lower system cost via reduced cooling requirements. In this paper, in order to improving LD optical output power, we do much research on materials optimization, structure optimization and cavity surface technology optimization. Then the laser diode chip use in coupling was confirmed. The beam characteristic of LD was also analyzed briefly to get smaller beam divergence. Under guidance of theory of beam transmission in fiber，the wedge-fiber applied in coupling was designed by ray tracing theory ,then the optical circuit was simulated by Tracepro. The coupled efficiency of laser diodes with wedge-fiber 105/125μm ,NA=0.22 achieved to more than 93%. The corresponding experiment of LD with C-mount packaged was done according to the designed optic-circuit, and the coupled efficiency of 90μm emitting laser diodes is 90%, 100μm emitting laser diodes nearly 80%.
