1. A fiber optical light transmission device for transmitting energy, comprisinga bundle of light conducting fibers formed by a plurality of light conducting fibers, each fiber having a light conducting cross section area;

  • a coupling element positioned adjacent to said bundle of fibers for transmitting an incoming incident bundle of light rays;

    said coupling element having two coupler arrays, and each coupler array having a plurality of light focusing cells, and each coupler array focusing said incoming incident bundle of light rays multiple times using said plurality of light focusing cells;

    each coupler array comprising a cylindrical lens array such that said two coupler arrays form two crossed cylindrical lens arrays; and

    each light focusing cell of said plurality of light focusing cells focusing said light rays on said light conducting cross section area within each corresponding light conducting fiber for a light conducting fiber bundle.
