Self-organized coherence in fiber laser arrays

Opt Lett. 2005 Jun 1;30(11):1339-41. doi: 10.1364/ol.30.001339.

Abstract

We report the production of stable, coherent, and same-phase states in arrays of fiber lasers. Provided that proper interactions between the lasers are present, arrays will spontaneously self-organize into stable coherent same-phase states. There is no need for active control. Power scaling, power spectra, spatial interference fringes, and temporal data all support this conclusion.
