    摘要: Optical apparatus that combines a plurality of separate optical functions into a single monolithic optical element. The the optical element comprises two or three optical functions, such as saturable absorption, retroreflection, and polarization rotation. The optical element comprises a body that is formed in the shape of a right-angle porro prism. The optical element is fabricated from a garnet material that combines the properties of high refractive index (greater than 1.414 to permit total internal reflection at a 45 degree incidence angle), saturable optical absorption (to provide Q-switching), and tolerance to high temperatures (to permit application of anti-reflection coatings). The optical element may be comprised of garnet materials such as yttrium aluminum garnet, gadolinium scandium gallium garnet, or gadolinium scandium aluminum garnet, for example. Doping the garnet materials with tetravalent chromium (Cr.sup.4+), for example, provides for saturable absorption while the natural properties of garnet materials provide high temperature tolerance.

    摘要: A porous, ceramic member defines both the burner and baffle. Gaseous fuel is supplied under pressure into a chamber and flows through the ceramic member and, in flowing, causes the aspiration of atmospheric air into the flowing gaseous fuel. The air-fuel mixture is ignited a short distance downstream of the chamber and the flame flows through the ceramic member and emerges from the ceramic member within the heat exchanger. The air mixing with the gaseous fuel causes turbulence and mixing of the gas and cools the flame prior to its reaching temperatures associated with the generation of thermal NO.sub.x.

    摘要: A Yb-doped fiber laser uses a homogeneously-broadened material. The disclosed laser design is particularly advantageous for operating the fiber laser between 970-980 nm and using this output as a pump for an Er-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) having an absorption band between 970-990 nm. Using a homogeneously-broadened host glass, for example alumino-germano-silicate or fluoride glass, significantly reduces the inefficiency that can result from the three-level nature of Yb-doped fiber laser transitions that are required for operating it at approximately 976 nm.

    摘要: A system and method for focusing electromagnetic energy on a moving target. Generally, the inventive system sends a pilot beam to a target and analyzes a return wavefront to ascertain data with respect to any distortions and other phase and/or amplitude information in the wavefront. This information is then used to pre-distort an output beam by so that it is focused on the target by the intervening distortions. In an illustrative embodiment, the pilot beam is provided by a beacon laser mounted off-axis with respect to the output beam. The reflected wavefront is received through a gimbaled telescope. Energy received by the telescope is detected and processed to ascertain wavefront aberrations therein. This data is used to predistort a deformable mirror to create an output beam which is the phase conjugate of the received wavefront. In a first alternative embodiment, a nonlinear optical phase-conjugate mirror is employed to generate the required wavefront-reversed replica of the received wavefront. The system further includes an arrangement for modulating the output beam to confuse the target. In a second alternative embodiment, the system is adapted to examine atmospheric distortions of starlight to predistort the output beam. The alternative embodiment offers a faster response time and a lower susceptibility to detection.

    摘要: The output of an optical device which involves a stimulated brillouin scattering (SBS) gain medium is enhanced over a range of input beam intensities by providing a gain medium which has a given SBS gain for a given input beam intensity, and modifying the gain medium to reduce its SBS gain coefficient. By lowering the SBS gain coefficient, SBS dominance and suppression of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) can be mitigated, and the output fidelity of a phase conjugation system with respect to its input can be significantly enhanced. Mechanisms for reducing the SBS gain coefficient include increasing the medium viscosity, thermal conductivity and/or diffusion coefficient, or causing the medium relaxation zone to coincide with the frequency of the phonons involved in the SBS process. Two different media can be mixed together in varying proportions to progressively modify the overall medium SBS gain as the input beam intsnsity is progressively changed.
