A coherent laser beam combining system wherein the output of a single master oscillator is split into a plurality of N signals, and the N signals are electronically modulated at unique frequencies. There is no reference signal and all of the signals are passed through phase adjusters. All N signals are optically amplified, aligned and passed through a beam splitter to split off a small sample that is imaged onto a photodetector. The photodetector output is fed to a signal processor that separates the N signals and produces N phase error signals that drive the N phase adjusters resulting in a high-powered optically coherent output signal.
