Abstract

Owing to the unique features in intensity and phase structures, optical vortex lattices (OVLs) have attracted intensive attention and promoted various applications. However, the power scaling of OVLs always presents a critical challenge. Here we take advantage of the brightness enhancement of coherent beam combining (CBC) technology and propose an architecture for creating OVLs based on the CBC system. In the experiment, by utilizing the stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm, the dynamic phase noises were compensated. The desired piston phase shifting of each element for tailoring the structured wavefront was implemented by the liquid crystal. When the system in a closed loop, hexagonal close-packed OVL consists of spatially distributed orbital angular momentum, beams can be generated in the far-field. This work is an important step toward future implementation of high-power structured light beams.
