    Abstract: A carbon dioxide gas-discharge slab-laser is assembled in a laser-housing. The laser-housing is formed from a hollow extrusion. An interior surface of the extrusion provides a ground electrode of the laser. Another live electrode is located within the extrusion, electrically insulated from and parallel to the ground electrode, forming a discharge-gap of the slab-laser. The electrodes are spaced apart by parallel ceramic strips. Neither the extrusion, nor the live electrode, include fluid coolant channels. The laser-housing is cooled by fluid-cooled plates attached to the outside thereof.

    Abstract: An anamorphic three-element objective lens projects a plurality of beams of different wavelengths and different diameters into an elongated focal spot in a working-plane. In one transverse direction of the lens, the beams are tightly focused with equal beam-waist widths in the working-plane, defining a height of the focal spot. In another transverse direction, the different beams are focused progressively beyond the working-plane such that the beams have a common beam-width in the working-plane, thereby defining a width of the focal spot.

    Abstract: A fiber-laser includes a gain-fiber in a laser-resonator. A polarizer is located in the laser-resonator at an end thereof, causing the output of the fiber-laser to be linearly polarized. A wavelength-selective element is also included in the laser-resonator for selecting an output wavelength of the fiber-laser from within a gain-bandwidth of the gain-fiber.

    Abstract: An intra-cavity frequency-tripled OPS laser has a laser-resonator including two optically nonlinear crystals arranged for type-I frequency conversion. One of the crystals generates horizontally polarized second-harmonic radiation from vertically plane-polarized fundamental-wavelength radiation circulating in the laser-resonator. A birefringent filter is located between the optically nonlinear crystals. The birefringent filter selects the fundamental-wavelength, establishes the vertical polarization-orientation, and selectively rotates the polarization-orientation of the second-harmonic radiation from horizontal to vertical. The vertically polarized fundamental and second-harmonic radiations are type-I sum-frequency mixed by the other optically nonlinear crystal.

    Abstract: A cooler for diode-laser bars comprises a machined base including a water-input plenum and a water-output plenum, and a top plate on which the diode-laser bars can be mounted. A stack of three etched plates is provided between the base and first plate. The stack of etched plates is configured to provide a five longitudinally spaced-apart rows of eight laterally spaced-apart cooling-channels connected to the water-input and water-output plenums. Water flows in the cooling-channels and in thermal contact with the first plate.
