The present invention relates to a method and a passive device for the coherent combination of two amplified and/or spectrally broadened optical beams using at least one bidirectional optical component (A1, A2). According to the invention, the device comprises an amplitude division ring interferometer comprising optical splitting and recombining means disposed in such a way as to receive an incident optical beam (S 0 ) and to split it spatially into a first secondary input beam (H 1 ) and a second secondary input beam (H 2 ), optical guiding means disposed in such a way as to define an optical path in the form of a ring in said interferometer, the at least one bidirectional optical component (A1, A2) being disposed on the optical path of said ring interferometer, said splitting and recombining means being disposed in such a way as to receive and to recombine spatially, temporally and coherently said first secondary output beam (H 1 ") and said second secondary output beam (H 2 "), so as to form a coherent output beam.

The invention relates to a passive device for the coherent combination of at least two optical amplifiers. According to the invention, said device comprises an interferometer having at least four branches (B1, B2, B3, B4) and comprising optical means for separating and combining polarisation, said means having four inlet-outlet ports that are respectively connected to a branch. The first branch comprises a first polarisation means, a first optical amplifier and a first mirror; the second branch comprises a second polarisation means, a second optical amplifier and a second mirror; the third branch comprises a third polarisation means and a third mirror; the fourth branch (B4) is an inlet-outlet branch of the interferometer; and the first, second and third polarisation means are designed such that a polarised optical beam entering respectively into the first, second or third branch and reflected by the mirror at the end of said branch forms a polarised optical beam that leaves said branch with a polarisation that is orthogonal to the polarisation of the polarised optical beam entering said branch.
