We demonstrate a new method for controlling diffractive, high-power beam combination, sensing phase errors by analyzing the intensity pattern of uncombined side beams at the output. A square array of eight beams is combined with <0.3% stability and 84.6% efficiency. As the channel count is increased, so does the usable information, enabling scaling to large channel counts without significant slowing of control loop response time, an advantage over single-input algorithms.
