    摘要: A monolithic phasematched harmonic generator is obtained by optically pumping an optically nonlinear lasant member having reflective faces defining the monolithic optical resonator. Phasematching is achieved, in one case, by inclining a totally internally reflective face of the resonator at a proper angle relative to other faces of the resonator to angularly separate and resonate lasant waves of the proper polarization. In a second case, a clad fiber resonator of optically nonlinear lasant material has its cladding arranged to guide and thus resonate only lasant waves of the correct polarization. In a third case, the optical nonlinear coefficient of the optically nonlinear lasant material is spatially modulated with a period equal to an odd integer number of coherence lengths, of the harmonic generation process, to obtain quasi-phasematched operation. Phasematched operation improves the efficiency of the harmonic generation process.

    摘要: A miniature solid state near room temperature laser includes a laser crystal doped with a laser ion and an absorber ion. The absorber ion absorbs pumping radiation derived from the output of a laser diode and transfers the absorbed energy to the laser ion for inverting the population of the desired energy transition levels to produce an eyesafe output beam with wavelengths greater than 1.4 microns. In a preferred embodiment, the host crystal is YAG and it is co-doped with Ho as the laser ion and Er as the absorber ion. A small concentration of Tm ion may be doped into the crystal to enhance pumping efficiency. Improved efficiency can be obtained by cooling the laser crystal with a thermoelectric cooler and by tuning the output of the diode laser pump to an absorption peak of the absorbing ion.

    摘要: A source of coherent blue light comprises a diode laser for pumping a Nd.sup.3+ doped member of lasant material disposed within an optical resonator for exciting the .sup.4 F.sub.3/2 -.sup.4 I.sub.9/2 laser transition of a wavelength within the range of 0.870 to 0.960 .mu.m. The laser radiation within the optical resonator is doubled by means of a doubler crystal of a non-linear, electro-optic material to produce blue light which is then extracted from the optical resonator as an output beam. A thermo-electric cooler is coupled in heat-exchanging relation with the Nd.sup.3+ doped laser material to improve the efficiency and the doubler crystal is temperature controlled for phase matching to the laser radiation within the range of 0.870 to 0.960 .mu.m. The diode pump laser is preferably either a GaAlAs or GaAs diode laser producing pumping radiation of a wavelength of approximately 0.810 .mu.m. In the case of Nd:YAG end pumped laser material, the laser material is preferably doped to have a high an absorption coefficient as possible and its length is chosen to be within the range of 0.5 to 3 mm. In one embodiment, the lasant material and the non-linear, electro-optic material are disposed in separate optical resonators with the laser resonator optically decoupled from the doubler resonator for inhibiting reflection of optical power back to the laser resonator.

    摘要: In a transverse-pumped, solid-state laser, a nonabsorptive cladding surrounds a gain medium. A single transverse mode, namely the TEM.sub.00 mode, is provided. The TEM.sub.00 mode has a cross-sectional diameter greater than a transverse dimension of the gain medium but less than a transverse dimension of the cladding. The required size of the gain medium is minimized while a threshold for laser output is lowered.

    摘要: Systems, methods, devices and apparatus are implemented for producing controllable charged particle beams. In one implementation, an apparatus provides a deflection force to a charged particle beam. A source produces an electromagnetic wave. A structure, that is substantially transparent to the electromagnetic wave, includes a physical structure having a repeating pattern with a period L and a tilted angle α, relative to a direction of travel of the charged particle beam, the pattern affects the force of the electromagnetic wave upon the charged particle beam. A direction device introduces the electromagnetic wave to the structure to provide a phase-synchronous deflection force to the charged particle beam.

    摘要: Photodarkening in active fiber or waveguide devices (e.g. lasers, amplifiers, and incoherent sources such as ASE sources) can be reduced by altering the dopant concentration along the length of the doped fiber. A fiber or waveguide device includes two or more intentionally doped fiber or waveguide sections having different concentrations of one or more dopants. The dopants provide optical gain responsive to pump radiation provided to the fiber device by a pump source. A first optical intensity in a first of the fiber or waveguide sections is greater than a second optical intensity in a second of the fiber or waveguide sections. A first dopant concentration in the first fiber or waveguide section is lower than a second dopant concentration in the second fiber or waveguide section. Thus the dopant concentration is reduced in sections of the fiber or waveguide device having a higher optical intensity. The optical intensity can be due to pump radiation and/or signal radiation. Reduced dopant concentration in regions of high optical intensity reduces photodarkening.
