Abstract

Intracavity coherent addition of several laser channel distributions where one is a Gaussian distribution and the others are multimode distributions is investigated. It is shown experimentally that the Gaussian distribution is inherently imposed on all the channels. A model for analyzing coherent addition of two or four beams is developed and used to support the experimental results.
