    摘要: The present invention comprises a method and apparatus to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic conversion of light into electrical power and to achieve operation at higher optical power and therefore higher electrical power. Preferred embodiments increase the efficiency of photovoltaic power conversion of any source of a beam of photons by spatially dividing the beams into a plurality of individual beamlets, each beamlet focusing on an active photovoltaic region. The preferred architecture of the apparatus of the invention comprises spatially separated photovoltaic cells to substantially match the pattern of the spatially separated plurality of beamlets. Preferred embodiments result in a significant reduction in ohmic losses and current shunting, thereby increasing photovoltaic conversion efficiencies.

    摘要: A solid state pump cavity comprising a laser rod encased by diffusion bonding inside an outer cladding. The outer cladding provides the ability to efficiently conduct heat away from the laser rod. The outer cladding is also configured to absorb spontaneous laser radiation that would otherwise be re-amplified by the laser rod. Diffusion bonding of the outer cladding to the laser rod forms a seamless optical boundary between the outer cladding and the laser rod. An alternative embodiment of the pump cavity comprises multiple segments of laser rod and outer cladding assemblies coupled together with undoped sections that are diffusion bonded to the ends of the laser rod and outer cladding assemblies.

    摘要: A laser system for producing a laser beam, the laser system having top and bottom heat-sinking bars forming the structure of the laser system and plurality of disks comprising a laser material mounted on both the bottom heat-sinking bar and the top heat-sinking bar. Also mounted on both heat-sinking bars is a plurality of pump diode bars. Each pump diode bar is preferably mounted opposite a corresponding laser disk on the opposite heat-sinking bar. The pump diode bars and the disks are symmetrically mounted on the top and bottom heat-sinking bars, so that each heat-sinking bar has an alternating pattern of pump diode bars and laser disks. The laser system is configured such that the lasing beams impinge on the disks with an incidence angle far off normal.

    摘要: A laser apparatus having multiple laser devices coupled together. The laser devices include optical fibers with laser active regions. Each of the fibers has a reflector disposed at one end and is connected to a combiner on the other end. A laser pump device for each fiber provides pump energy to the laser active regions. Light propagating in the fibers interacts so as to form inphase states. The array of fibers may be coupled either in pairs or altogether between the reflector and the laser active region.

    摘要: A multiple-fiber, stretched, fused and cleaved coupler designed to act as an output window to a fiber laser array or fiber-coupled laser array, in which the stretch, length and/or position of the fibers is chosen facilitate the in-phase oscillation of the lasers in the array. The in-phase oscillation of the lasers is facilitated by making one or more of the fibers interferometrically dark. The other fibers, the interferometrically lit ones, are made to have fairly uniform intensity under the same collimated illumination.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for compensating for phase fluctuations incurred by an optical beam travelling through free space, especially a turbulent atmosphere. A transmitting station transmits a plurality of uniquely tagged optical beams through free space. The plurality of uniquely tagged optical beams are received at a receiving station, where a parameter of each uniquely tagged optical beam is quantified. Information associated with the quantified parameter for each uniquely tagged optical beam is then sent back to the transmitting station via a wireless feedback link. Using the information, the transmitting station adjusts at least one uniquely tagged optical beam to compensate for phase fluctuations.

    摘要: A compact diode pumped laser including a nonuniform, single- or double-sided diode pumped laser head and a polarization output coupled (POC) resonator. The POC resonator employs reflections from two opposing uncrossed roof prism mirrors to produce a uniform near field and far field beam with diffraction or near diffraction limited quality. The single laser head particularly includes a laser rod, a sapphire envelope located about the rod, an area of antireflection coating located on the sapphire envelope between the rod and the diode array, and a high reflectivity nickel-plated indium layer located on the sapphire envelope on the surface thereof outside of the area of antireflection coating.

    摘要: A thin disk laser includes a thin disk of a host material incorporating a laser gain medium. The disk has opposite first and second surfaces, at least one of which is non-planar. The first surface is coated with a high reflectivity coating. The second surface has an anti-reflection coating thereon. The shape and mounting of the laser is such that mismatch of the coefficients of thermal expansion between the disk laser and the mount does not affect scaling of the laser to larger size disks for higher power lasers.
