Abstract
Multi-Channels coherent beam combining (CBC) using a mechanism for phase and/or polarization locking that uses a reference optical beam and an array of optical detectors each detector being configured and located to detect overall intensity of an optical interference signal caused by interfering of the reference beam and a beam of the respective channel, where the fast intensity per-channel detection allows simultaneous and quick phase/polarization locking of all channels for improving beam combining system performances.
