Abstract: Apparatus for generating a line-beam includes a diode-laser bar, a linear micro-lens array, and a plurality of lenses spaced apart and arranged along an optical axis. The linear micro-lens array and the lenses shape laser-radiation emitted by the diode-laser bar to form a uniform line-beam in an illumination plane. The lenses project a far-field image of the diode-laser bar onto an image plane proximate to the illumination plane. The diode-laser bar is rotated from parallel alignment with the linear micro-lens array for providing uniform line-beam illumination over a range of locations along the optical axis.

Abstract: A laser includes an optically pumped semiconductor OPS gain-structure. The apparatus has a laser-resonator which includes a mode-locking device for causing the laser to deliver mode-locked pulses. The resonator has a total length selected such that the mode-locked pulses are delivered at a pulse repetition frequency less than 150 MHz. An optical arrangement within the resonator provides that radiation circulating in the resonator makes a plurality of incidences on the OPS gain-structure with a time less than the excited-state lifetime of the gain-structure between successive incidences.

Abstract: A mirror is used to form a beam of laser-radiation having a uniform intensity distribution from a beam of laser-radiation having a non-uniform intensity distribution. The mirror has a reflective surface that has a compound shape, which is two inclined surfaces joined by a rounded apex. The compound-mirror is achromatic and can form a uniform intensity distribution from a polychromatic beam of laser-radiation. The uniform intensity distribution may be an isotropic distribution or a flat-top distribution in a plane. The non-uniform intensity distribution may be a Gaussian distribution from a laser source.

Abstract: A third-harmonic conversion arrangement includes a second-harmonic generating crystal and a third-harmonic generating crystal arranged in a polarization loop. The polarization loop, which includes a plurality of mirrors, a polarization-selective reflector, and a polarization rotator, causes plane-polarized fundamental-wavelength radiation being converted to make two passes through the crystals in orthogonally-opposed polarization orientations.

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 optical parametric oscillator includes one unidirectional enhancement resonator for optical pump-radiation and a second unidirectional resonator at least partially coaxial with the enhancement resonator. An optically nonlinear crystal is located in the coaxial portion of the resonators and converts the optical pump-radiation to signal radiation having a wavelength longer than that of the pump radiation and idler radiation having a wavelength longer than that of the signal radiation. The second resonator resonates the signal-wavelength radiation and delivers a fraction of that radiation as output radiation.

Abstract: A ring laser-resonator generating plane-polarized fundamental-frequency radiation includes an optically nonlinear crystal configured for type-II second-harmonic generation of fundamental-frequency radiation. The resonator is configured such that fundamental-frequency radiation circulating either clockwise or counter-clockwise therein makes two passes through the optically nonlinear crystal per round-trip in the resonator in opposite directions, with polarization planes perpendicular to each other. This arrangement forces unidirectional circulation of radiation in the resonator during which second-harmonic radiation is not generated by the crystal.
