<p>A self-adjusting interferometric outcoupler being an optical system (100) comprising a first system (112) for generating a first beam, a second system (122) for receiving the first beam and returning a second beam, and an interferometer (116) positioned to couple the first beam to the second system (122) and to receive and output the second beam, wherein the interferometer (116) is also shared by the first system (112) and/or the second system (122) to control the frequency of the first beam and/or the second beam, respectively. In the illustrative embodiment, the first system (112) is a master oscillator, the second system (122) is a phase conjugate mirror, and the optical system (100) further includes a power amplifier (118) positioned to amplify the first beam during a first pass and to amplify the second beam during a second pass.</p> |
