About This Webinar
Dynamic beam lasers (DBLs), based on coherent beam combining (CBC), mark a new frontier in free-space optical propagation. Unlike traditional single-beam sources, DBLs can dynamically control beam shape, phase, and direction in real time. With power levels reaching up to 120-kW continuous wave, flexible beam steering, and adaptive beam shaping, DBLs deliver high-precision, high-reliability optical transmission across free-space environments.
CBC-based DBLs enhance beam quality and stability in optical links, improving range, efficiency, and overall reliability. By coherently combining multiple laser beams into one high-power, high-brightness output, DBLs enable real-time adjustments that help to maintain link performance under changing atmospheric conditions. These capabilities are critical for mitigating issues such as turbulence, distortion, and thermal blooming — factors that often limit traditional optical systems.
Integration considerations are also key to optimizing performance in high-power free-space optical systems. Recent experiments have demonstrated that DBLs provide superior stability, extended range, and reduced power loss compared with conventional approaches. This adaptability makes them ideal for aerospace, defense, and telecommunications applications that demand both power and precision.
This webinar will explore how CBC and dynamic beam shaping are redefining high-power optical propagation. Attendees will learn how DBLs overcome turbulence, enhance beam stability, and enable precise, controllable optical transmission in real-world free-space environments.
Who should attend:
This session is ideal for optical engineers, system designers, and researchers working in free-space optical communication, directed energy, and high-performance optical systems. It will also benefit program managers and R&D teams evaluating next-generation optical transmission technologies who are seeking to integrate DBLs into existing and planned platforms.
