Synopsis "Coherent Laser Beam Combining"

The Purpose Of This Book Is To Present The More Recent Concepts Of Coherent Beam Combining By The World Leaders In The Field. After A General Presentation Of Laser Beam Combining And Associated Challenges (Chapter 1), The Book Will Review In Details All The Cblc Techniques With Active Phase Control (Chapters 2 To 7). These Techniques - Strongly Connected To Adaptive Optics - Include Heterodyne Detection Phase Control Technique, Stochastic Parallel Gradient Descent (Spgd) Algorithm Phase Control Technique, Multidithering Technique, And Single Frequency Dithering Technique. Application Of Coherent Laser Beam Combining To The Pulse And The Ultrafast Regimes Are Also Described In Chapters 8 And 9. Active Coherent Phase Combining May Also Offer Unique Functionalities Such As Non - Mechanical Beam Steering And Compensation Of Atmospheric Turbulences. Those Aspects Will Be Also Presented In Chapters 6 And 10. The Second Part Of The Book Will Deal With Passive Phase Locking Of Multiple Gain Media In A Cavity. Coherent Combining Is Obtained Through Self - Organization Of The Laser Emission (Chapters 11 - 14) Or By Nonlinear Interactions (Chapter 15). Application Of These Techniques To Fiber Lasers Are Shown In Chapters 11 & 12. Combining Of Quantum Cascade Lasers In The Mid Infrared Are Detailed In Chapter 13 With Interesting Applications For Spectroscopy. Each Technique Will Be Presented In Details With An Emphasis On Practical Implementations. Thus Both Scientific And Engineering Aspects Are Addressed
