Abstract:
1. An optical amplifier system comprising: a plurality of seed laser sources each configured to generate an optical beam having a unique wavelength to provide a plurality of wavelengths; a wavelength division multiplexer configured to spatially overlap the plurality of wavelengths to form a first beam; an amplitude modulator configured to receive the first beam and to amplitude modulate the first beam to form a modulated beam; a wavelength division de-multiplexer configured to receive the modulated beam and to spatially spectrally disperse the modulated beam into a plurality of modulated wavelengths; first delay optics optically coupled to the wavelength division de-multiplexer and configured to receive and uniquely delay each wavelength of the plurality of modulated wavelengths to provide a waveform comprising a first time series of the plurality of modulated wavelengths; an amplifier configured to receive the waveform and to amplify each wavelength of the plurality of modulated wavelengths to provide an amplified waveform comprising a second time series of a corresponding plurality of amplified modulated wavelengths; and second delay optics configured to temporally overlap the plurality of amplified modulated wavelengths to provide an output beam.
