Currently, the most used solution relies on the combination of different laser beams and, depending on the application, different types of combining can be identified. In this work, we will present the numerical modeling of a novel laser resonator design that makes possible the interferometric combination of beams coming from different gain chips in an intra-cavity configuration to increase the overall laser power with no compromise on the laser brightness. |
