1. A multi-output laser system comprising:
- a wavelength beam combiner configured to produce a multi-wavelength asymmetrical beam profile;
an optical symmetrizing element configured to symmetrize the multi-wavelength asymmetrical beam profile; and
an optical apportioning element configured to apportion the symmetrized beam and direct each portion to a distinct location.

Abstract
A system and method for producing a multi-output laser by reconfiguring and apportioning a plurality of electromagnetic beams produced by various wavelength beam combining techniques. The reconfiguring of beams includes individual rotation and selective repositioning of one or more beams with respect to beam'"'"'s original input position.
