Abstract:
In various embodiments, wavelength beam combining laser systems incorporate optical cross-coupling mitigation systems and/or engineered partially reflective output couplers in order to reduce or substantially eliminate unwanted back-reflection of stray light.

Claim (Index 31):
A wavelength beam combining laser system comprising:\n a plurality of beam emitters each emitting a beam; a dispersive element for receiving and dispersing the beams; a cross-coupling mitigation system for receiving and transmitting the dispersed beams while reducing cross-coupling thereof, the cross-coupling mitigation system comprising a first optical element and a second optical element, the first optical element being disposed optically upstream of the second optical element; and a partially reflecting output coupler positioned to receive the beams transmitted by the cross-coupling mitigation system, transmit a first portion thereof as a multi-wavelength output beam, and reflect a second portion thereof back toward the cross-coupling mitigation system, wherein (i) the first optical element is disposed within a Rayleigh range of the dispersed beams from the dispersive element, and/or (ii) the partially reflecting output coupler is disposed within a Rayleigh range of the beams transmitted by the second optical element.
