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: In a flow cytometer, an objective lens for focusing an input laser-radiation beam including at least four different laser-radiation wavelengths in a common plane includes only three singlet lens-elements. Two of the elements are cylindrical elements arranged as a cylindrical telescope for shaping and reducing the size of the input laser-beam. The third element is a spherical element arranged to focus the reduced size beam in the common plane. In one example, all three elements are made from the same optical material.

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 housing for an optically pumped semiconductor (OPS) laser resonator is terminated at one end thereof by an OPS-chip. The laser resonator is assembled on a platform with the OPS-chip at one end of the platform. The platform is fixedly attached to a baseplate at the OPS-chip end of the platform. The remainder of the platform extends over the baseplate with a gap between the platform and the baseplate. A pump-laser is mounted directly on the baseplate and delivers pump radiation to the OPS-chip.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating and amplifying laser beams at approximately 1 micrometer wavelength is disclosed. The apparatus includes an ytterbium-doped gain-crystal pumped by an ytterbium fiber-laser. The fiber-laser enables a pump wavelength to be selected that minimizes heating of the gain-crystal. The apparatus can be configured for generating and amplifying ultra-fast pulses, utilizing the gain-bandwidth of ytterbium-doped gain-crystals.

Abstract: Laser-machining apparatus includes a carbon monoxide (CO) laser emitting a beam of laser-radiation having forty-four different wavelength components and optical elements for delivering the radiation to workpiece. An acousto-optic modulator is provided for modulating the beam on the workpiece. A birefringent plate is provided in the beam transported to the workpiece for randomly polarizing radiation incident on the workpiece. A minimum distance of the workpiece from the laser, and the number of different-wavelength components in the laser beam provides that no optical isolator is required for preventing feedback of radiation into the laser.
