Abstract :
Summary from only given. We have realised true phase locking and selection of a single supermode in a circular array containing 18 emitters. The multicore fibre laser (MCF) emits a diffraction limited beam (antiphase supermode) with an output power of about 6 W with a slope efficiency of about 22%.
