Scaling potential of beam-splitter-based coherent beam combination
The impact of nonlinear refraction and residual absorption on the achievable peak- and average power in beam-splitter-based coherent beam combination is analyzed theoretically. While the peak power remains limited only by the aperture size, a fundamental average power limit is given by the thermo-optical and thermo-mechanical properties of the beam ...

Coherent beam combining with micro-lens arrays [PDF]
A novel, to the best of our knowledge, concept for coherent beam combining is presented based on a simple setup with micro-lens arrays. These standard components are used in a proof-of-principle experiment for both coherent beam splitting and a combination of 5 × 5 beams. Here a combination efficiency above 90% is achieved.

Impact of atmospheric turbulence on coherent beam combining for laser weapon systems
The performance of a laser weapon system based on coherent beam combining (CBC) depends on its propagation properties in the atmosphere. In this study, an analytical model based on partial coherent beam combining (PCBC) for assumed coherence coefficients

The generation and verification of Bessel-Gaussian beam based on coherent beam combining
We propose a method to generate Bessel-Gaussian (BG) beam by Gaussian beam array where beamlets are arranged along a circle. The phase difference between adjacent beamlets is a constant, and the total phase increment is equal to 2πl (l is integer). Based

Discussion on Piston-Type Phase Ambiguity in a Coherent Beam Combining System
Coherent beam combining (CBC) with closely arranged centrosymmetric arrays is a promising way to obtain a high-brightness laser. An essential task in CBC is to actively control the piston phases of the input beams, maintaining the correct phasing to ...

Millimeter and submillimeter wave technology developments for the next generation of fusion devices [PDF]
There is increasing demand for compact watt-level coherent sources in the millimeter and submillimeter wave region. The approach that we have taken to satisfy this need is to fabricate two-dimensional grids loaded with oscillators, electronic beam ...

Coherent beam combining with multilevel optical phase-locked loops [PDF]
Coherent beam combining (CBC) technology holds the promise of enabling laser systems with very high power and near-ideal beam quality. We propose and demonstrate a novel servo system composed of multilevel optical phase lock loops.

Investigation of the coherent combination of a 19-fiber laser beam characteristics to achieve a multi tens of kW at a distance of 10 km [PDF]
In this paper, we used a coherent beam combination to design a 50 kW high power laser beam for energy applications. Because of the strong environmental turbulence, degrade the coherent beam combination advantages, low turbulence level is considered ...

Optical phase synchronization in coherent optical beamformers for phased array receive antennas [PDF]
An optical phase synchronization system using a power feedback loop technique is experimentally demonstrated. The system allows coherent combining of signals modulated on the same optical carrier in a hybrid optical beam forming system ...
