    摘要: A laser apparatus includes at least one electro-optic (EO) medium through which a polarized laser beam passes for N times, forming a plurality of first-pass to Nth-pass beams, by reflecting the polarized laser beam from at least one reflection mirror, and a power supplier configured to alternately provide a 1/N of a half-wave (λ/2) or quarter-wave (λ/4) voltage and remove the voltage to the EO medium, λ being a wavelength of the polarized laser beam. The at least one EO medium is tilted at angle θ and/or angle di with respect to one of the plurality of first-pass to Nth-pass beams. The at least one EO medium comprises a M number of EO mediums, and the power supplier is configured to alternately provide a 1/M*N of a half-wave (λ/2) or quarter-wave (λ/4) voltage and remove the voltage to each of the M number of EO mediums.

    摘要: A method of applying a precompensation for shrinkage during a real-time assembly of an optical component. Prior to the real-time assembly, (a) the optical component is aligned to obtain a reference position (href); (b) pre-assembly laser beam data (reference beam size (ωref), reference beam position (pref), beam size (ω), and beam position (p)) is plotted; (c) the optical component is aligned in one or more positions (h) and repeating step (b) for each position (h); (d) adhesive is applied to the base; (e) curing the adhesive; (f) test laser beam data (beam size (ωcure) and beam position (pcure)) is plotted; (g) position of the optical component (hcure) is determined based on pre-assembly and test laser beam data; (h) a precompensation value (|href−hcure|) is calculated; and (i) the optical component is aligned at a height (|href−hcure|+href) before performing step (e) during the real-time assembly.
