Abstract: In various embodiments, laser systems or resonators incorporate two separate cooling loops that may be operated at different cooling temperatures. One cooling loop, which may be operated at a lower temperature, cools beam emitters. The other cooling loop, which may be operated at a higher temperature, cools other mechanical and/or optical components, for example optical elements such as lenses and/or reflectors.

Abstract: In various embodiments, the concentration and deposition of siloxane materials within components of laser systems, such as laser resonators, is reduced or minimized utilizing mitigation systems that may also supply gas having low siloxane levels into multiple different components in series or in parallel.

Abstract: In various embodiments, laser emissions are steered into different regions of an optical fiber, and/or into different optical fibers, in a temporal pattern such that an output has different spatial output profiles. The temporal pattern has a frequency sufficient such that a workpiece is processed by an effective output shape combining the different spatial output profiles.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a laser head receives a laser output beam from a laser system or resonator without the use of a delivery optical fiber, and any asymmetry of the laser output beam may be maintained. The laser head may be physically rotatable to control orientation of the laser beam along a processing path on a workpiece.

Abstract: In various embodiments, laser resonators include enclosed cooling manifolds defining protrusions each configured to conduct heat-exchange fluid to a beam emitter in the resonator. Installation of such cooling manifolds may be facilitated via use of a rigid installation tool functioning as a mechanical reference, prior to installation of the beam emitters and sealing of the beam emitters to the cooling manifold.

Abstract: In various embodiments, cold-start times and performance of wavelength-beam-combining laser resonators are improved via adjustment of the operating wavelengths and/or temperature of beam emitters within the resonators.

Abstract: In various embodiments, emitter modules include a laser source and (a) a refractive optic, (b) an output coupler, or (c) both a refractive optic and an output coupler. Either or both of these may be situated on mounts that facilitate two-axis rotation. The mount may be, for example, a conventional, rotatively adjustable “tip/tilt” mount or gimbal arrangement. In the case of the refractive optic, either the optic itself or the beam path may be adjusted; that is, the optic may be on a tip/tilt mount or the optic may be replaced with two or more mirrors each on tip/tilt mount.
