Abstract
Owing to the restriction of the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and other nonlinear effects, the output power of the single frequency amplifier is ar a level of about hundred watts. Multi-wavelength and non-single frequency seed laser will mitigate the SBS and improve the output power of the fiber laser amplifier. The coherent beam combining of the non-single frequency and/or multi-wavelength laser will greatly increase the total output power of the coherent beam combining as compared with the coherent beam combining of a single frequency laser. Based on the stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm, coherent combining of four channel four-wavelength lasers is realized. In the close loop state, the mean power of the main-lobe is four times higher than that of the open-loop, approaching 75% of its ideal value. The coherent combining of the multi-wavelength and non-single frequency laser is demonstrated and an approach to the high power coherent beam combining is provided.
