Abstract: A method of controlling output pulses of a pulse laser device (100) including a thin-disk laser medium (10), in particular controlling a carrier-envelope phase and/or an intensity noise of the output pulses, includes the steps of pumping the thin-disk laser medium (10) of the pulse laser device (100) with multiple pump laser diodes (21, 22, 23), which include at least one modulated laser diode (21, 22) which is powered by a current source (31, 32) with modulation capability, and controlling the output pulses by modulating the output power of the at least one modulated laser diode (21, 22), which is modulated by controlling a drive current thereof, wherein the pump laser diodes further include at least one stable laser diode (23), which has a constant output power, and the output power of the at least one modulated laser diode (21, 22) is smaller than the whole output power of the at least one stable laser diode (23). Furthermore, a pulse laser device (100), being adapted for creating output pulses, in particular having a controlled carrier-envelope phase and/or intensity noise, is described.

Abstract: A plane waveguide type laser according to the present invention includes: a plate-shaped laser medium (5); a semiconductor laser (1) which causes excitation light to enter an end surface (5a) of the laser medium (5); first and second claddings (4a and 4b) which are bonded to lower and upper surfaces of the laser medium (5), respectively, to form a waveguide in a vertical direction; a comb heat sink (2) bonded to a lower surface of the first cladding (4a); and thermal lens producing means (20) bonded to an upper surface of the second cladding (4b). In this structure, laser oscillation in the vertical direction is performed in a waveguide mode of the laser medium (5), and the thermal lens producing means (20) forms a periodic lens effect in the laser medium (5) to perform laser oscillation in a lateral direction in a plurality of resonant modes. Therefore, a resonator having a small round-trip loss may be formed without depending on a size of a thermal lens produced by excitation, and hence a rising characteristic of a pulse operation or a CW operation may be smoothed to obtain high-power stable output.

Abstract: A method includes accumulating (604, 704) optical pump power in a first laser gain medium (218) during a first period of time (TS), where the first laser gain medium is optically located within a resonator (302, 304, 402-406). The method also includes providing (608, 706) at least some of the accumulated optical pump power as a first laser output with a feedback-controlled waveform from the first laser gain medium to a second laser gain medium (204) during a second period of time (TP), where the second period of time is substantially shorter than the first period of time. The method further includes generating (610, 708) a second laser output having a burst (102) of laser pulses (104) using the second laser gain medium as a power amplifier (204). The first and second laser outputs have higher power levels during the second period of time compared to a power level of the optical pump power during the first period of time.
