Abstract
A coherent beam combination (CBC) system () includes an array of beam sources (and) generating coherent beams directed towards a target (T). The phase modulators (and) allow adjustment of relative phase offsets of the beams. A detector () monitors an intensity of the radiation impinging on an area of the target (T). A controller () receives the intensity parameter and controls a phase adjustment of the beams according to a deterministic (i.e., quantitative) measurement of a phase offset of each beam relative to a representative phase of the sum of all the other beams. This is achieved by using interferometric techniques, referred to herein as Target In-the-Loop Interferometry (TILI).
