Coherent summation of laser beams using binary phase gratings.

A method for coherent addition of lasers is presented that uses binary phase-only gratings. It is shown that a grating that splits a single beam into N equal orders with high efficiency can be used in reverse to convert N laser beams into a single beam with the same efficiency. Experiments to demonstrate the conversion of seven beams to one beam are performed with a resulting conversion efficiency of 75%. An experimental apparatus is described that adds the power from both two and three He–Ne lasers (wavelength, 3.39 μm) with efficiencies as high as 83%.
