多阵元光纤相干列阵的理论与实验研究

基于Fraunhofer衍射理论,建立了六角形相干列阵远场分布的理论模型,采用Strehl比和能量集中度作为评价参数,分析了列阵排列方式、振幅、填充因子对远场分布的影响.并由爬山法相位控制技术和六棱台合束器,构建了七阵元光纤相干列阵实验系统.在066填充因子情况下,获得了Strehl比为070、能量集中度为040七阵元合成光束,以及获得了能量集中度分别为045和018的二阵元线阵和四阵元矩形阵合成光束.

Experimental investigation of a seven-element hexagonal fiber coherent array

The phase noises of a 10-m polarization-maintaining （PM） fiber and a 10-W PM fiber amplifier are experimentally measured. The results indicate that the 10-m PM fiber with similar phase noise could be used to investigate the architecture of master oscillator power amplifier coherent combination. A seven-element hexagonal fiber coherent array is developed to investigate the far-field distribution and phase controlling technique of a coherently combining fiber laser array. A hexagonal prism is designed as the combining and splitting component to achieve a fill factor of 0.66. The hill climbing method is employed to detect and lock the element phase.
