Passive phase locking of an array of four fiber amplifiers by an all-optical feedback loop

Opt Lett. 2007 Jul 1;32(13):1842-4. doi: 10.1364/ol.32.001842.

Abstract

We report the passive phase locking of an array of four fiber amplifiers in a unidirectional ring cavity. The feedback loop consists of a single-mode fiber that filters intracavity the far-field pattern of the four emitted beams. The pointing of the laser output can be managed by the intracavity filtering.
