Abstract

An optical device for forming an output light beam having at least one target mode, by combining a plurality of phase-locked input light beams collectively forming incident light radiation, comprises a conversion device, arranged between the input plane and the output plane, configured to carry out a modal conversion aimed at conveying the energy portion of incident radiation present in a main supermode to the target mode, and aimed at conveying the energy portion of the incident radiation present in interference supermodes to deformation modes. A system for producing an output light beam comprises such an optical device.
