Abstract
Systems of combined high-power fiber amplifiers form the basis for the High Energy Laser (HEL) systems used in military directed energy applications. In this paper we review the current state-of-the-art for these combinable, building-block, fiber amplifiers and discuss the fundamental challenges in power scaling HEL systems.
