One solution to overcome this limit is the coherent beam combination. We focus on an active phase control with tiled aperture configuration. The setup consists in an amplified seed laser split in three channels. These channels are controlled in phase and amplified again before being launched free space and combined. A SPGD algorithm controls the channel’s phase to provide combination. Rise time below 0.5 ms were achieved with a residual amplitude noise lower than λ/30.enposter
