"Time-multiplexing generates a diode laser beam with high beam quality";

- 1007.
English abstract:
The beams of four pulsed high power laser diodes are time-multiplexed resulting in a laser beam of high quality. A combination of polarization switches and filters forming a digital time-multiplexer is utilized to guide laser pulses produced by the individual laser diodes onto a common optical path. A resulting beam with an optical power of 10 Watt and a beam quality comparable with that of a single laser diode at a wavelength of 960 nm is obtained.
