摘要

We report on a novel technique for remotely phase locking an array of high-power optical amplifiers [1] to an object in the far field, thereby optimizing the amount power on the object through atmospheric turbulence, also known as Object In the Loop (OIL) phase locking. Radio frequency (RF) phase modulated light from an array of high-power optical amplifiers propagates to an object in the far field. A fraction of the light incident on the object is then scattered back into the surrounding area. Of the scattered light a small percentage is collected by a lens in a separate return path and imaged onto a detector. The phase-modulated light interfering on the detector generates an RF beat note containing the relative phase errors of each beam with respect to each other. The beat note is then fed back into the Locking of Optical Coherence by Single-Detector Electronic-Frequency Tagging (LOCSET) [2] phasing electronics and, in turn, is used to correct the optical phase error of the individual high-power optical amplifiers via the LiNbO_3 phase modulators in each leg of the phased array. The advantages of OIL phase locking are twofold: (1) OIL phase locking automatically compensates for any atmospheric disturbances that may occur in the propagation path to the object. For a sufficiently small collection aperture the phase corrections applied by the LOCSET [2] phasing electronics are effectively insensitive to any turbulence in the return path and account only for the turbulence in the forward path to the object, thereby optimizing the power on the object; and (2) OIL phase locking provides automatic object tracking limited only by the broad intensity modulation envelope defined by the far-field pattern of the effective aperture of a single high-power optical amplifier and the operating speed of the phase electronics. In this report, we will discuss the experimental demonstration of OIL phase locking and present a simple model to explain the results.
