Demonstration of Controlled Spatial Incoherence for Laser Beam Smoothing
A novel beam-smoothing approach based on spatially multiplexed uncorrelated beams is presented to control the on-target illumination from high-energy lasers, demonstrating scaling with the number of beams, operation with angular dispersion, and parametric amplification.
