Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
High power parallel fiber arrays for the amplification of high peak power pulses are described. Fiber arrays based on individual fiber amplifiers as well as fiber arrays based on multi-core fibers can be implemented. The optical phase between the individual fiber amplifier elements of the fiber array is measured and controlled using a variety of phase detection and compensation techniques. High power fiber array amplifiers can be used for EUV and X-ray generation as well as pumping of parametric amplifiers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A high peak power fiber amplifier system, comprising: an array of fiber amplifiers implemented in the form of a multi-core fiber, said fiber amplifiers being spaced such that thermal fluctuations of said fiber amplifiers are matched sufficiently to limit relative phase fluctuations at fiber amplifier outputs to a bandwidth less than 10 kHz, and such that optical energy coupling between any of the fiber amplifiers of said array of fiber amplifiers is negligib…
