Fiber laser arrays have unlocked a new realm of laser applications by enabling precise control over the spatial arrangement of laser emitters. This technology allows for the design of virtually any emitter field geometry, with the added capability of individual channel control, including phase locking between channels for coherent beam combining or beam shaping. The importance of precise high-power fiber components in achieving this level of control cannot be overstated, as they form the very foundation upon which these advanced capabilities are built. Without fibers capable of withstanding extreme power levels while maintaining micrometer-level precision in emitter positioning over extended periods, the full potential of this technology simply wouldn't be realized.

The application potential covers a wide range – including multi-beam material processing, advanced 3D printing, efficient beam combining, intricate coherent control, and even cutting-edge quantum computing. The ultrafast control of individual channels enables higher processing speeds and higher efficiency, as well as new means of process control. The freedom in array geometry, channel number, and optional phase control allow for a completely novel control of the spatial profile for kW-class lasers. This opens up new revolutionary concepts in applications like surface treatment or solid-state laser pumping. The implementation of a multi-channel laser source permits an ultrafast switching of patterns or the active compensation of atmospheric disturbances for high-power directed laser beams.
