Conversion of out-of-phase to in-phase order in coupled laser arrays with second harmonics

Optics 2015-02-24 v1

Abstract

A novel method for converting an array of out-of-phase lasers into one of in-phase lasers that can be tightly focused is presented. The method exploits second harmonic generation and can be adapted for different laser arrays geometries. Experimental and calculated results, presented for negatively coupled lasers formed in a square, honeycomb, and triangular geometries are in good agreement.
