Phase disorder on laser beam combining in a Talbot resonator

TL;DR

This paper investigates how phase disorder affects mode discrimination in a Talbot resonator, focusing on six-core and twelve-core photonic crystal fibers, to understand its impact on laser beam combining.

Contribution

It introduces an analysis of phase disorder effects on mode discrimination in Talbot resonators with multi-core fibers, a novel aspect in laser beam combining research.

Findings

Phase disorder impacts mode discrimination in Talbot resonators.

Differences observed between six-core and twelve-core fiber configurations.

Insights into optimizing laser beam combining with phase disorder considerations.

Abstract

We study the role that phase disorder plays in the mode discrimination characteristics of a Talbot resonator. Two cases considered here correspond to a six-core and a twelve-core photonic crystal fiber.
