摘要: An apparatus (12) for providing information about the power and position of a high laser beam includes a heat absorbing body (46) having a target area within which the laser beam is directed. Position information is provided by a plurality of thermocouples (46) connected in series in a circular array and located radially outward of the target area. In the preferred embodiment, the thermocouple array is divided into four quadrants (60-66), each quadrant generating a voltage proportional to the heat flow in the body at that location. A comparison of the voltages generated by each of the quadrants will provide information about the position of the laser beam with respect to the quadrants. In addition, by summing the output of the quadrants, information about the total power of the beam can be derived.

摘要: A radiation delivery module (8) includes a body (48) supportable on a patient's skin and defines a skin surface plane generally aligned with the patient's skin surface (40). A radiation source (22) is mounted to the body and produces a beam (34) of tissue-damaging radiation directed transverse to and at the skin surface plane. The radiation beam creates a radiation spot (42) having a length (36) and a width (44) at the skin surface plane, the length being at least about 5 to 10 times the width. A number of scanned diode laser radiation sub-sources (64) each directing a radiation beam component (66) at the radiation spot may be used. The radiation source may include a rod lens as a focusing optical element. The radiation delivery module may also include a radiation source translator (18) so that the radiation spot moves in a direction generally perpendicular to the length of the radiation spot.

摘要: A method and apparatus for determining the quality of a multimode laser beam (10). In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a lens (32) for creating a transformed or imaged waist from the input beam. The location of the transformed beam waist and its diameter are then determined. These steps can be carried out by chopping the beam using a rotating hub (34) having apertures (36,38) for selectively passing the beam. Preferably, one of the apertures has a pair of 45.degree. knife edges (40,42). The transmission of the beam past the knife edge is monitored by a detector (30). In operation, the lens focal position is varied while the transmission of the beam past the knife edge is monitored in order to locate and measure the diameter of the transformed waist. The diameter of the beam at one other known location is measured. A processor then calculates beam quality by fitting these measurements to a mathematical model. Once the quality of the beam is calculated, the location of the original beam waist and its diameter can be derived. Once all of the beam parameters are derived, the propagation characteristics of the beam can be predicted.

摘要: A laser system employing one or more mirror sets having substantially astigmatism-free focusing power sufficient to maintain a desired laser beam diameter, for example, to compensate for thermally-induced distributed lensing. In one class of preferred embodiments, the invention is a high power gas laser system having a folded optical cavity with a periodic intracavity refocusing means to compensate for distributed negative thermal lensing in the hot plasma that comprises the active medium, and thus maintain a substantially constant beam diameter throughout the optical cavity. The periodic intracavity refocusing means preferably includes a corner mirror set (including at least one curved mirror and at least one other mirror) at each corner of the folded optical cavity. In one preferred embodiment, each corner mirror set is a mirror pair including a spherical mirror and cylindrical mirror. In another preferred embodiment, each corner mirror set comprises three mirrors (including three spherical mirrors, or two spherical mirrors and a planar mirror). In another class of preferred embodiments, the inventive focusing mirror sets are not included within the optical cavity of a high power laser, but instead, one or more such focusing mirror sets are included within the output beam delivery optical components of a high power laser. For example, one of the inventive focusing mirror sets may replace a conventional lens to direct the output beam of a high power laser system along a desired path and maintain a desired beam diameter.

摘要: A high voltage power supply for energizing a gas discharge laser in either an enhanced pulse mode or a continuous mode, which power supply is simple to manufacture and minimizes the voltage that other parts of the energizing circuit are required to withstand. The voltage provided by a high voltage DC power supply is boosted by the interaction of first and second reactive components. A first reactance is provided which stores charges at the boosted potential. This charge is provided to the laser to initiate electrical breakdown. The second reactance generates a potential which is additive with respect to the potential provided by the high voltage DC power supply so that the first reactance is charged to a potential equal to the generated potential plus the potential of the high voltage power supply.

摘要: The method of reducing arcing in a high power gas transport laser consists of introducing molecular oxygen into the carbon dioxide mixture in which the glow discharge takes place. The oxygen may be in pure form or may be mixed with nitrogen as in air and is admitted to the recirculating gas mixture in predetermined quantities during operation of the laser. The effect of this addition of oxygen to the circulating gas mixture is to prevent the formation of oxide coatings on the copper electrode surfaces, and specifically on the cathode, thereby eliminating this cause of arcing in the laser.
