Coherent Laser Scaling Using Optical Phase Conjugation.

Abstract

Coherent combining of pulsed dye gain media through phase conjugation in photorefractive barium titanate is reported. Phase and frequency locking of two and three pulsed dye lasers is demonstrated for both narrowband cavities (0.05 nm) and broadband cavities (0.25 nm). Oscillator configurations are used throughout in order to avoid geometries that require a master oscillator or a master laser and slave laser.
