Journal ArticleDOI
First experimental demonstration of self-synchronous phase locking of an optical array
Thomas M. Shay,Vincent Benham,J. T. Baker,Benjamin G. Ward,Anthony D. Sanchez,Mark A. Culpepper,D. Pilkington,Justin B. Spring,Douglas J. Nelson,Chunte A. Lu +9 more
TL;DR: The first demonstration of the only electronic phase locking technique that doesn't require a reference beam is reported, and the measured phase error is lambda/20.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
High-power phase locking of a fiber amplifier array
Thomas M. Shay,J. T. Baker,Anthony D. Sanchez,Craig Robin,Christopher Vergien,Clint Zeringue,David J. Gallant,Chunte A. Lu,Benjamin Pulford,T. J. Bronder,Arthur Lucero +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the first experimental results for a phase-locked fiber amplifier array with a total power of more than 725-W. This is the highest fiber laser power to be coherently combined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-dimensional diffractive coherent combining of 15 fiber amplifiers into a 600 W beam
Peter A. Thielen,James G. Ho,David Burchman,Gregory D. Goodno,Joshua E. Rothenberg,Michael G. Wickham,Angel Flores,Chunte A. Lu,Benjamin Pulford,Craig Robin,Anthony D. Sanchez,Dane W. Hult,Ken Rowland +12 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates coherent beam combining using a two-dimensionally patterned diffractive optic combining element, in quantitative agreement with calculations using the measured amplitude and phase profiles of the input beams.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Coherent beam combining of fiber amplifiers in a kW regime
Angel Flores,Thomas M. Shay,Chunte A. Lu,Craig Robin,Benjamin Pulford,Anthony D. Sanchez,Dane W. Hult,Ken Rowland +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-frequency coherent beam combination (CBC) of 16 fiber lasers with kW class output power is presented, and three Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) amplifiers in a filled aperture configuration is reported.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Active coherent superposition of five fiber amplifiers at 670W using multiplexed volume Bragg gratings
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an experimental study on active coherent combining of five Yb (Ytterbium)-doped fiber laser amplifiers that employs multiplexed volume Bragg gratings (MVBGs).
