Spectrally beam combined fiber lasers for high power, efficiency, and brightness
Abstract
Spectrally Beam Combined fiber laser provide a superior architecture for power scaling laser to high power. We present experimental results where we achieved < 3 kW, M2 = 1.35 with < 39% E-O efficiency by combining 12 individual fiber lasers into a single high brightness beam.
