摘要：

We model combining of multiple laser beams into a single near diffraction-limited beam by beam self-focusing (collapse) in a Kerr medium. The beams with the total power above critical are combined in the near field and then propagated in the Kerr medium. Nonlinearity results in self-focusing event, combining multiple beams into nearly a diffraction-limited beam that carries the critical power. Beam quality of the combined beam is analyzed as a function of the number of combining beams and the level of random fluctuations of the combining beams phases. (c) 2015 Optical Society of America
