摘要:
The present invention aims to prevent, in a gas laser resonator, the deterioration of the quality of discharges produced by reduction of the pressure in the discharge chamber (2) as well as the inflow of impurity gases, such as air, into the discharge chamber (2). This is produced by providing a buffer chamber (12), different from the discharge chamber (2). A bracket (6) is attached to one end of a tube (1) comprising the discharge chamber interposing a sealing part, e.g. a gasket, (13) only for sealing the opening of the discharge chamber (2) and a gasket (14) for sealing both openings of the discharge chamber (2) and the buffer chamber (12). A glass plate (8) and a further bracket (9) are attached to the other end of the tube (1) interposing a gasket (15) only for sealing the opening of the discharge chamber (2) and a gasket (16) for sealing both openings of the discharge chamber (2) and the buffer chamber (12). The pressure in the buffer chamber (12) is set lower than the one of the discharge chamber (2) and than the atmospheric pressure so that to decrease the inflow of the impurity gases toward the discharge chamber (2).

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.

An optical amplifying apparatus which includes an optical amplifier, an optical attenuator and a controller. The optical amplifier amplifies a light signal having a variable number of channels. The optical attenuator passes the amplified light signal and has a variable light transmissivity. Prior to varying the number of channels in the light signal, the controller varies the light transmissivity of the optical attenuator so that a power level of the amplified light signal is maintained at an approximately constant level that depends on the number of channels in the light signal prior to the varying the number of channels. While the number of channels in the light signal is being varied, the controller maintains the light transmissivity of the optical attenuator to be constant. Subsequent to varying the number of channels in the light signal, the controller varies the light transmissivity of the optical attenuator so that a power level of the amplified light signal is maintained at an approximately constant level that depends on the number of channels in the light signal subsequent to the varying the number of channels.
