ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a scalable, composite laser oscillator for generating a single laser output beam by phase locking and adding together a number of outputs from smaller laser fibre oscillators the ends of which are coherently packed into an optically polished face on to which a dielectric laser mirror is deposited, one of said faces acting as an output aperture for the scalable beam. The invention uses a computer to switch the laser gain medium of the sub-oscillators on and off and this switching process can be used to generate patterns on the output aperture of the system.
The invention is useful as a compact source of laser beam energy for use in industry, medicine, commerce and defence.
