Abstract
A combination device includes at least two inputs and one or more outputs. Each input is for entry of a respective input beam. Each output is for exit of a respective output beam. The combination device is configured to form the respective output beam through a coherent combination of two input beams. The combination device is configured to set a polarization direction of the respective output beam based on a relative phase position of individual phases of the two input beams from which the respective output beam is formed through the coherent combination.
Claims16
A combination device, comprising:
- at least two inputs, each input for entry of a respective input beam of at least two input beams, and
- one or more outputs, each output for exit of a respective output beam,
- wherein the combination device is configured to form the respective output beam through a coherent combination of two input beams of the at least two input beams by collinear superposition of the two input beams,
- wherein the combination device is configured to set a polarization direction of the respective output beam based on a relative phase position of individual phases of the two input beams from which the respective output beam is formed through the coherent combination.
