1. A system, comprising:
a waveform generation apparatus configured to generate a plurality of input optical waveforms, with at least two of the input optical waveforms comprising different polarizations;
a single amplifier configured to amplify the plurality of input optical waveforms to generate a single output waveform; and
a beam forming apparatus configured to separate the single output waveform into a plurality of amplified waveforms, and to direct the plurality of amplified waveforms to be incident on a target location.
