Abstract

The results from modeling the energy characteristics of a multi-waveguide power amplifier are presented. The optical schemes and calculations for the most promising circuits of multichannel waveguide CO2 amplifiers are given. The amplifying system itself removes the problem of phase locking in individual channels of multichannel systems. The experimental results from the synchronization of arrays of multichannel waveguide CO2 lasers allow the production of high-power (up to 15 kW) high beam-quality multibeam lasers. Technological lasers with such properties have yet to be produced anywhere in the world.
