  • Coherent beam combining using real time holography
    Patent number: 8228599
    Abstract: A system for combining multiple coherent optical beams incorporates a plurality of coherent beamlets expanded to an aperture. An interferometer receives a sample of a full aperture unphased combination of the plurality of beamlets and provides interference fringes. A spatial light modulator (SLM) receives the fringes from the interferometer and generates a hologram as a diffraction grating. Relay optics transmit the full aperture unphased combined beamlets to the SLM and receive a diffraction corrected full aperture phased beam from the diffraction grating hologram for emission to the far field.
