Single step phase optimisation for coherent beam combination using deep learning.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Coherent beam combination of multiple fibres can be used to overcome limitations such as the power handling capability of single fibre configurations. In such a scheme, the focal intensity profile is critically dependent upon the relative phase of each fibre and so precise control over the phase of each fibre channel is essential. Determining the required phase compensations from the focal intensity profile alone (as measured via a camera) is extremely challenging with a large number of fibres as the phase information is obfuscated. Whilst iterative methods exist for phase retrieval, in practice, due to phase noise within a fibre laser amplification system, a single step process with computational time on the scale of milliseconds is needed. Here, we show how a neural network can be used to identify the phases of each fibre from the focal intensity profile, in a single step of ~ 10 ms, for a simulated 3-ring hexagonal close-packed arrangement, containing 19 separate fibres and subsequently how this enables bespoke beam shaping. In addition, we show that deep learning can be used to determine whether a desired intensity profile is physically possible within the simulation. This, coupled with the demonstrated resilience against simulated experimental noise, indicates a strong potential for the application of deep learning for coherent beam combination.
