## Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of the correlation technique of formation of laser beams under conditions of the interaction of coherent fields spatially periodic in the transverse direction.\,\,It is aimed at the application of this technique to the multiplexing (splitting) of an input laser beam to several output ones, management of the energy of these beams, and their clustering and debunching according to required time algorithms.
