title = "The effect of polarization in passive coherent beam combining of fiber lasers",
abstract = "A Yb-doped, dual-core, double-clad, polarization-maintaining fiber is used to demonstrate passive coherent beam combining. A homemade Dammann grating is employed as a passive beam-combining optical element. Self-phasing is observed in this laser system, where we attribute the self-phasing behavior to the Kramers-Kronig effect. We experimentally demonstrate the importance of polarization on coherent beam combining efficiency as well as on Kramers-Kronig induced self-phasing.",
