Abstract
An elementary device for coherently recombining a first elementary beam and a second elementary beam, includes a first input and a second input, into which are respectively injected the first elementary beam and the second elementary beam to be recombined, an output that delivers an output beam corresponding to the coherent recombination of the first and second elementary beams, a delay line placed on one of the paths of said elementary beams and configured to induce a variable delay on said path, a variable coupler comprising a first 2×2 combiner, a phase modulator and a second 2×2 combiner, a control detector configured to generate, from the complementary beam, an error signal (ε), a feedback loop configured to determine, from the error signal, the delay and the phase difference to be applied.
