What is coherent combining?

Coherent addition (or coherent combining) of lasers is a method of power scaling. It allows increasing the output power and brightness of single-transversal mode laser. Usually, the term coherent addition applies to fiber lasers.

What is coherence of a signal?

In signal processing, the coherence is a statistic that can be used to examine the relation between two signals or data sets. It is commonly used to estimate the power transfer between input and output of a linear system.

What is coherent and non coherent signal?

Non-coherent means optical transmission system does not require coherent local oscillator light; Coherent means optical transmission system that uses local oscillator light for coherent detection.

What is coherence in vibration?

Coherence is an Analyzer graph option in the VibrationVIEW Random and Shock test modules. The coherence graph displays a statistical relationship between two signals at the same frequency. The coherence of two signals, x and y, depends on the phase difference between the signals.
