Abstract

The active phase stabilization of spatially and temporally combined ultrashort pulses is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Particularly, considering a combining scheme applying 2 amplifier channels and 4 divided-pulse replicas a bistable behavior is observed. The reason is mutual influence of the optical error signals that is intrinsic to temporal polarization beam combining. A successful mitigation strategy is proposed and is analyzed theoretically and experimentally.
