摘要

Laser arrays offer an alternative pathway to generate a high-power source. There is particular interest in generating coherent, in-phase emission from the laser outputs since the brightness at broadside increases as the square of the number of lasers instead of linearly if the lasers are incoherent. There has been increasing interest in using fiber lasers as array elements due to their efficient operation at high powers. Phase-locked output has been reported in fiber arrays using a spatial filter [1], a self-Fourier cavity [2], multicore fiber [3], fused-tapered fiber couplers [4,5], and a fiber loop coupler [6]. Coherent output from fiber arrays is remarkable at first glance since the long cavity lengths (~10 m) allow access to thousands of longitudinal modes. The fiber lasers self-select only a small percentage of modes that optimize light regeneration in an array configuration, even under nonidentical operation. For instance, in a mutually coupled array, if one laser's output transmits less than the other lasers, then the laser emits a large share of light from this single output [7,8]. In a seven-laser array with identical losses, greater coherence was achieved when two laser elements were turned off [5]. Theoretical studies have shown similar benefits of nonuniformity [9,10].
