Spectral beam combining (SBC) of laser diodes has been proven to be an effective method to improve beam brightness. The crosstalk between different emitters in the SBC system will significantly affect the beam-combining efficiency and output beam properties without effective control. The interfering factors of the crosstalk beam intensity in semiconductor laser SBC have been theoretically analyzed, and experiments have been built to carry out the SBC of a semiconductor laser bar with a high filling factor of 80%. It is found that by adding an inverted Kepler telescope, reducing the focal length of the transmission lens or increasing the spacing of the grating and the output coupling mirror, the crosstalk can be suppressed. In an experiment of beam combining with five emitters, the ratio of the first-order crosstalk peak energy to that of the central beam spot is about 0.34 when the spacing of the grating and the output coupling mirror is 50 mm and the focal length of the transmission lens is 200 mm. The ratio decreases to 0.035 when the spacing of the grating and the output coupling mirror is 200 mm. With the addition of an inverted Kepler telescope with a magnification of 2, the ratio decreases to 0.085. In addition, the ratio decreases to 0.07 when the focal length of the transmission lens is 80 mm.
