Multi-aperture fiber laser system

Abstract

A multi-aperture fiber laser system that includes a fiber amplifier laser engine having a tunable master oscillator, a wavelength selective beam router optically connected to the laser engine, and a plurality of beam directors optically connected to the wavelength selective beam router. The tunable master oscillator outputs a first optical signal selectively tuned to at least one specific wavelength. The wavelength selective beam router receives a plurality of second optical signals that have the same at least one wavelength of the first optical signal. The wavelength selective beam router then routes each second optical signal to one of the beam director assemblies based the wavelength of the second optical signals. Thus, the multi-aperture fiber laser system enables a single high power fiber amplifier laser engine to supply laser power to more than one beam director in a highly flexible and efficient manner.
