Towards 100 kW fiber laser systems
Fiber lasers are rapidly gaining market shares for industrial applications due to compactness, high electrical-to-optical efficiency, high beam quality and low running cost. However, for directed energy weapons, fiber lasers have until now been unable to meet the requirements of military, where power levels around 100 kW are aimed for through combining of multiple, high beam quality lasers. The...
متن کاملIncoherent beam combining using stimulated Brillouin scattering in multimode fibers.
A beam combining technique for producing a single, spatially coherent beam from two mutually incoherent (temporally and spatially) lasers is demonstrated and the spatial coherence properties of the resulting beam are characterized. The technique is based on simultaneous excitation of stimulated Brillouin scattering by two independent lasers operating at two different wavelengths in a long multi...
متن کاملCoherent combining of multiple beams with multi-dithering technique: 100KHz closed-loop compensation demonstration
We demonstrate the coherent combining of three beams with a phase-locking controller using VLSI multidithering technique. Three ber-coupled phase shifters are used to compensate phase distortions in the beam propagation path. The highest dither frequency in our system is 70MHz. The achieved closed-loop compensation bandwidth of three beamlets is up to 100KHz. Keywords: coherent beam combining,...
متن کاملAll-fiber coherent beam combining of fiber lasers.
One half of a 2x2 fused taper single-mode fiber coupler is used for the all-fiber spatial and spectral beam combining of two fiber lasers.
متن کاملResonant modes of linearly coupled multiple fiber laser structures
We have experimentally demonstrated coherent combining of 2 and then 4 fiber lasers,with respectively 99% and 95% combining efficiency. The combining method investigated here isbased on a multi-arm resonator of interferometric configuration. In spite of its interferometricnature, the multi-arm laser operates without significant power fluctuations, even in an unpro-tected environ...
