1. A multi-wavelength laser system comprising:
- a wavelength beam combining resonator comprising;
a first and second stack of laser emitters,a spatial interleaver configured to interleave the emitted beams from the first and second stack of laser emitters,a cylindrical transform optic positioned to receive the beams and overlap the beams along one dimension onto a dispersive element,a waveplate positioned between the transform optic and dispersive element,a second optical system positioned between the dispersive element and a partially-reflective output coupler, wherein feedback from the output coupler forms a resonator with the back facets of each of the emitters, and wherein the output coupler transmits a multi-wavelength beam; and
a post resonator including;
a polarization multiplexer,optical reconfiguration element,anamorphic element, andfiber-optic module.
