Abstract
A method for increasing energy in a pulse optical beam is provided. The method may include: receiving an optical input beam having a period pulse train with a given repetition frequency; splitting the input beam into N optical signals; phase modulating each signal in the N optical signals at a different phase, such that the N optical signal are orthogonal to each other; and coherently combining each of the phase modulated signals into a single optical output beam.
