Coherently Beam Combining System is sensitive to occurring in near-field disturbances: tilts, phase, amplitude, depolarization, defocusing and wavefront aberration. The analytical/numerical model for such purposes was developed. The tilts impact is determined mainly by angular diffraction size of emitter, whereas the size of lattice and number of emitters does not influence on result. The defocusing errors of endcaps in CBC combining optics resulting in the Guoy’s piston/phase errors in far-field must be mandatory compensated. Phase disturbance leading to Maréchal formula shows that the lattice architecture and specific beam profile plays second order role. The requirements on tilt and phase compensation do not increase with the complexity of CBC systems (number of emitters), paving the way for designing effective CBC systems with several hundreds of emitters.
