Abstract: A laser source (340) that generates an output beam (354) that is directed along a beam axis (354A) that is coaxial with a first axis and orthogonal to a second axis comprises a first frame (356), a laser (358), and a first mounting assembly (360). The laser (358) generates the output beam (354) that is directed along the beam axis (354A). The first mounting assembly (360) couples the laser (358) to the first frame (356). The first mounting assembly (360) allows the laser (358) to expand and contract relative to the first frame (356) along the first axis and along the second axis, while maintaining alignment of the output beam (354) so the beam axis (354A) is substantially coaxial with the first axis. The first mounting assembly (360) can include a first fastener assembly (366) that couples the laser (358) to the first frame (356), and a first alignment assembly (368) that maintains alignment of the laser (358) along a first alignment axis (370) that is substantially parallel to the first axis.

Abstract: A laser assembly (1210) for generating an assembly output beam (1212) includes a laser subassembly (1216) that emits a plurality of spaced apart first laser beams (1220A), a plurality of spaced apart second laser beams (1220B), a transform lens assembly (1244), a wavelength selective beam combiner (1246), and a path length adjuster (1299). The transform lens assembly (1244) collimates and directs the laser beams (1220A) (1220B) to spatially overlap at a focal plane of the transform lens assembly (1244). The path length adjuster (1299) is positioned in a path of the first laser beams (1220A), the path length adjuster (1299) being adjustable to adjust of a path length the first laser beams (1220A) relative to the second laser beams (1220B).

The transform lens (44A) focuses the laser beams (20) at a focal plane (54) and the beam combiner (46) is positioned at the focal plane (54). The beam combiner (46) combines the lasers beams (20) to provide a combination beam (58). Further, the output coupler (48) redirects at least a portion of the combination beam (58) back to the beam combiner (46) as a redirected beam (60), and transmits a portion of the combination beam (58) as the assembly output beam (12).

Abstract: A laser assembly (10) that generates a beam (20) includes a gain medium (12) having a first facet region (24) that includes a first facet (16), a second facet region (26) that includes a second facet (18), and an intermediate region (28) that separates and connects the facet regions (24) (26). Additionally, the gain medium (12) includes a substrate layer (30) and a core layer (34) that extend between the facets (16) (18). The gain medium (12) is designed so that when current is directed to the gain medium, (i) current flows through the core layer (34) in the intermediate region (28) to generate the beam (20), and (ii) current does not flow through or flows at a reduced rate through the core layer (34) in one or both facet regions (24) (26).
