Abstract
We report phase locking of a diode-pumped multicore fiber laser with a circ ular array of 18 Nd-doped emitters (microcores) acting as an active medium. Phase locking was achieved in a Talbot resonator configuration. We present calculations of the effective reflection coefficients that are due to self -imaging. Far-field distributions and near-field pattern of several supermo des are calculated and compared with experimental results. (C) 2000 Optical Society of America.
