Abstract:
A system and method for increasing efficiency and power output of a multi-wavelength beam combining system through providing a common output coupler to reflect feedback that stabilizes or individually seeds each emitter, and wherein the individual feedback is preserved by mitigating cross-coupling, wherein a multi-wavelength beam comprised of radiation having a plurality of wavelengths, high brightness and power.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques for optimizing the operation of a beam emitter during material processing maintain an optimal polarization of the beam with respect to the material throughout processing—e.g., even as the beam path varies or the nature or thickness of the material changes.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a beam-parameter adjustment system and focusing system alters a spatial power distribution of a plurality of radiation beams before the beams are coupled into an optical fiber.
Abstract:
A multi-band scalable output power laser system configured to have high brightness and output power in each band is accomplished by combining multiple laser modules, with each producing at least one band, and wherein at least one of the laser modules is based on a wavelength beam combining (WBC) system, into a multi-band free-space cavity.
Abstract:
A system and method for producing a multi-output laser by reconfiguring and apportioning a plurality of electromagnetic beams produced by various wavelength beam combining techniques. The reconfiguring of beams includes individual rotation and selective repositioning of one or more beams with respect to beam's original input position.
Abstract:
A system and method for reconfiguring a plurality of electromagnetic beams to take advantage of various wavelength beam combining techniques. The reconfiguring of beams includes individual rotation and selective repositioning of one or more beams with respect to beam's original input position.
Abstract:
A system and method for reducing the M2 value of a single asymmetric laser emitter while maintaining the power output of the emitter. In some embodiments the brightness of the output of such a system is equivalent to a portioned section of the single laser emitter. A WBC step is performed along a portioned or non-portioned single laser emitter to reduce the M2 value.
