Binary coherent beam combination with mirror pairs
A configuration of N coated mirrors or mirror pairs is described that has the potential to coherently combine 2N single-frequency phase-locked diffraction-limited polarized optical beams to form a single diffraction-limited beam. The application to beam combination of fiber amplifiers is discussed.
