Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un laser hybride à diodes et à fibres, dans lequel des groupes de réseaux de diodes à verrouillage de phase cohérente (2) émettent des faisceaux (4) qui sont focalisés dans des fibres optiques (7). Les extrémités de sortie reflétées des fibres sont réunies en faisceau dans un réseau à verrouillage de phase (11), dont le verrouillage de phase est assuré par couplage optique directe entre les noyaux des fibres optiques. Le verrouillage de phase peut également être obtenu par reflexion dans des noyaux voisins au moyen d'un miroir de sortie à transmission partielle (8) ou par un réseau de micro-lentilles. Est également revendiqué un oscillateur hybride séparé comprenant un laser à diodes et une lentille focalisant la sortie du laser à diodes dans une fibre optique passive, dans l'autre extrémité et constituée par un miroir à transmission partielle. Les oscillateurs séparés du réseau peuvent être soumis à une commutation sélective destinée à produire une image à faisceaux de sortie laser haute définition ou à créer une différence de temps entre l'émission de la lumière à travers l'ouverture de sortie, ce qui entraîne une inclinaison régulée du front d'ondes du faisceau de sortie, permettant ainsi de diriger le faisceau de sortie (12).
