摘要:
A method, and systems to implement the method, for reducing slow axis divergence in a laser diode bar including tailoring a power deposition profile across the emitter so as to reduce thermal gradients, thereby resulting in a substantially (nearly) uniform temperature across the width of the emitter.

摘要:
This invention relates to a laser amplifier which achieves substantially enhanced gains by diverging the laser beam in a gain medium having a substantially rectangular shape. In particular, at least one laser beam is passed through a lens or other suitable means to cause it to diverge at a predetermined angle and the diverging beam or beams are caused to pass through the gain medium in a manner such that a beam makes only a single pass through any section of the medium, with the total number of passes through the medium by the beam(s) applied to the medium being an even number. The angle at which the beam diverges should be such as to maintain a near optimum laser power extraction efficiency for the beam. If a single beam is supplied to the medium, it makes an even number of passes through the medium with mirrors, prisms, or other suitable means being provided as the beam exits the medium after each pass except the last pass to fold the beam back into the medium for a subsequent pass. The invention operates in a similar manner where two or more laser beams are applied to the medium.

Improved electron beam driven gas laser method and apparatus with the achievement of high single pulse energies therefore enabled by establishment of a magnetic field in a direction substantially parallel to the desired direction of electron beam propagation into a gas. The applied magnetic field is made substantially uniform and sized to exceed that of the self induced magnetic field of the current established by the electron beam, alone or in combination with a discharge current (optionally) established in the gas.

Window constructions for use in particle accelerators to separate an evacuated accelerator beam chamber from a gas or liquid filled target area, which window structure enhances cooling of the foil covering the window opening and reduces stresses on the foil. For preferred embodiments, the window opening is shaped and dimensioned to provide high length-to-width aspect ratio and a rectangular shape with rounded corners. The openings should generally be as narrow as possible while still being wide enough to assure efficient transmission of the ion beam. Stresses in the foil is reduced by providing controlled bowing of the portions of the foil covering the window. This may be accomplished by providing some slack in the foil, at least in one dimension, but is preferably accomplished by pressing the foil between mating curved surfaces selectively extending from the edges of the window openings, resulting in the desired bow in the foil in the window area. With a rectangular opening, the bow is preferably a generally cylindrical bow about an axis parallel to the length dimension of the window. A generally spherical bow may also be utilized. A plurality of adjacent generally rectangular openings separated by struts are also utilized for some embodiments.
