Coherent beam combining with multilevel optical phase-locked loops
Wei Liang,Naresh Satyan,Firooz Aflatouni,Amnon Yariv,Anthony S. Kewitsch,George Rakuljic,Hossein Hashemi +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a servo system composed of multilevel optical phase lock loops was proposed and demonstrated for coherent beam combining (CBC) technology, which can be considerably more compact and less expensive compared to servo systems made of optical phase/frequency shifters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent combining of the output of two semiconductor lasers using optical phase-lock loops
TL;DR: Current-injection optical phase-lock loops based on commercial single-section semiconductor distributed-feedback lasers are experimentally demonstrated using two parallel OPLLs and obtained 87% efficient coherent power combining of the two DFB lasers.

Multiplexing and selective updatable fixing and erasing of volume holograms in photorefractive media and second harmonic generation in photorefractive media by optically induced periodic poling
TL;DR: In this article, a method for multiplexing volume holograms in electrooptic materials is presented, in which the refractive index and crystal parameters of the material can be varied via the electro-optic, elastooptic or piezoelectric effects, alone or in combination with each other, by tuning the value of an applied electric field, or by tuning an applied mechanical stress or temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modal Gain Analysis of Transverse Bragg Resonance Waveguide Lasers With and Without Transverse Defects
Lin Zhu,Axel Scherer,Amnon Yariv +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a transfer matrix method is used to analyze the modal gain of transverse Bragg resonance (TBR) structures and three different feedback mechanisms are proposed to select the desired TBR modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broad‐band grating filters for thin‐film optical waveguides
TL;DR: In this paper, a broadband grating filter was fabricated on glass thin-film waveguides and evaluated with a tunable dye laser, and measured and calculated filter responses were found to be in good agreement.
