Abstract
An electro-optical system includes a plurality of electromagnetic gain media having a corresponding plurality of apertures. The apertures are disposed in a predetermined spatial distribution. The system further includes a refracting surface disposed to intercept energy from the plurality of apertures and a partially reflecting surface to direct portions of the intercepted energy back toward the plurality of apertures with the directed energy being distributed about the plurality of apertures.
