Application of the stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm for numerical simulation and analysis of the coherent summation of radiation from fibre amplifiers
Abstract:
Coherent summation of fibre laser beams, which can be scaled to a relatively large number of elements, is simulated by using the stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm. The applicability of this algorithm for coherent summation is analysed and its optimisaton parameters and bandwidth limitations are studied.
