Abstract
A new approach for the simultaneous coherent and spectral addition of a two-dimensional array of fiber lasers is presented. A combining efficiency of over 80% and a combined beam profile with were experimentally obtained with an array of four fiber lasers. This approach can lead to significant upscaling in fiber laser additions.
