Abstract
A tunable pulsed burst mode laser includes a beam splitting optical element; a plurality of optical path difference (OPD) tuning elements; a plurality of optical amplifiers; and a beam combining optical element. The beam splitting optical element is configured to split an input beam into a plurality of beams that are to propagate via a plurality of optical paths. The plurality of OPD tuning elements are configured to modify respective lengths of the plurality of optical paths. The plurality of optical amplifiers are configured to amplify respective optical powers of the plurality of beams. The beam combining optical element is configured to combine the plurality of beams into an output beam that comprises a plurality of pulsed beams, wherein a particular pulsed beam includes a plurality of beamlets that are respectively from the plurality of beams, and wherein the plurality of beamlets are provided in a terahertz (THz) burst.
