Abstract

See full text

A coherent beam combination (CBC) system (10) includes an array of beam sources (12a, 12b and 12c) generating coherent beams directed towards a target (T). The phase modulators (14a, 14b and 14c) allow adjustment of relative phase offsets of the beams. A detector (16) monitors an intensity of the radiation impinging on an area of the target (T). A controller (18) receives the intensity parameter and controls a phase adjustment of the beams according to a deterministic (i.e., quantitative) measurement of a phase offset of each beam relative to a representative phase of the sum of all the other beams. This is achieved by using interferometric techniques, referred to herein as Target In-the-Loop Interferometry (TILI).
