Coherently combined 16 channel multicore fiber laser system

Optics 2021-01-21 v1

Abstract

We present a coherently combined laser amplifier with 16 channels from a multicore fiber in a proof-of-principle demonstration. Filled aperture beam splitting and combination together with temporal phasing is realized in a compact and low-component-count setup. Combined average power of up to 70 W with 40 ps pulses are achieved with combination efficiencies around 80%.
