    摘要: The laser medium confining structure 12 of a laser beam generator is encircled by a plurality of thermally conductive cooling fins 206, each extending transverse to the principal axis of the confining structure 12. A flow of air is established transverse to the principal axis of the confining structure 12 in the space defined between the cooling fins 206, and this is unevenly distributed, so as to give greater flow over hotter regions. The laser medium confining structure 12 is supported relative to an optical bench by a framework 92, 93, 101 including flexible parts 104, and 114, 116 separating rigid parts 107, 106 and 119 respectively joined to the framework and optical bench. A chassis 126 and housing 142 for supporting and enclosing other parts of the laser apparatus, including an air cooling assembly 143, are fastened to the framework by shock absorbing couplers 138. The laser's opposing mirrors 26, 27 are supported relative to adjacent Brewster windows 33, 34 by a flexible seal 61, joining the housing 51 of each mirror to the tubular enclosure 31 of the associated Brewster window. The flexible seal permits relative movement between the two rigid housing 51 and tubular enclosure 31 structures.

    摘要: A laser construction is described having a single resonator structure (14) for both a dye laser optical cavity (12) and one or more pump laser optical cavities (10,40). In the described embodiments, such resonator structure is formed principally from a plurality of parallel rods (15) which desirably are formed from material having a low coefficient of expansion.

    摘要: A gas ion laser is described having a resonator structure which not only maintains the optical reflectors of the laser at the respective ends of the optical cavity in a selected relationship, it also maintains an optical element 48, 49 external of such laser in a predetermined relationship to the output beam of the laser. The resonator stucture includes a plurality of rods 17,18,19 which extend between mounts 21, 22 for the optical reflectors 14 parallel to and adjacent the laser optical cavity. Such rods project beyond the optical cavity mount 22 selected to hold a partially transmissive optical reflector to define the laser output beam, and terminate in a third mount 43 which maintains a desired optical element 48, 49 in a predetermined relationship relative to the laser output beam.
