Passive Coherent Polarization Beam Combination of a Four-Fiber Amplifier Array

We present what we believe to be a new architecture for coherent beam combination of a fiber amplifier array. Four polarization-maintained fiber amplifiers are passively coherent polarization beam combined by using an optical feedback in a ring cavity. Experimental results verify that the architectu...
