Abstract

The laser emission behavior of an array consisting of 150 Nd-doped fibers arranged within a common resonator is characterised by the synchronization of the individual emitters via injection seeding. The spatial and temporal synchronization of the array elements is investigated by time-resolved experiments on the nanosecond and picosecond time scale
