Abstract

An active phase locking of slab laser amplifiers via square wave dithering algorithm is demonstrated experimentally. The MPD technique based on dual-level square wave phase modulation, time division multiplexing, and single detector can achieve the phase error signal of amplifiers, but without coherent demodulation process. The experimental investigation on the 208 W coherent beam combining of two slab amplifiers shows that the whole system in a closed loop performs well over a long time observation. The contrast of the coherent combined beam profile is about 87% and the combining efficiency is nearly 90.4%. The beam steering with three kinds of steering angles based on coherent beam combining using square wave dithering algorithm is demonstrated numerically.
