    Abstract: Disclosed are optical arrangements including: a disk-shaped laser-active medium, a deflecting device, having a plurality of mirror elements on which mirror faces for deflecting a laser beam are formed, and having a base body on which the mirror elements are fastened, the mirror faces of the mirror elements being oriented in such a way that the laser beam is deflected by a respective mirror face via the disk-shaped laser-active medium to another mirror face. The mirror elements are formed in one piece or are monolithically joined, and have a connecting section that is formed rotationally symmetrically with respect to a center axis and is rigidly connected by a material-fit connection or a direct connection to the base body.

    Abstract: A pulse compressor includes a plurality of optical components. The plurality of optical components includes a diffraction grating. A first optical component of the optical components is fastened to base plate by at least first and second intermediate elements that are laser-welded to one another. The first intermediate element is fastened to the base plate and the second intermediate element is fastened to the optical component. A joining surface of the first and second intermediate elements is formed as a bearing recess and another joining surface is curved. At least the laser-welded joining surfaces of the first optical component, the base plate, and the first and second intermediate elements are formed from materials for which a difference in their coefficients of thermal expansion is less than 10e-6/K.

    Abstract: An optical arrangement includes a disk-shaped laser-active medium configured to create an optical gain upon being pumped within a pump volume, and a laser beam incoupler for input coupling a laser beam as a seed laser beam into the laser-active medium. The laser beam interacts with the laser-active medium. The optical arrangement further includes an auxiliary resonator for creating an auxiliary resonator radiation field. The auxiliary resonator radiation field interacts with the laser-active medium. The auxiliary resonator is configured to suppress at least one mode of the auxiliary resonator radiation field that overlaps with at least one mode of the laser beam in the pump volume.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for the butt welding of two, e.g., planar, workpieces composed of glass, e.g., quartz glass, by a pulsed laser beam, e.g., an ultrashort pulse (“USP”) laser beam, which is directed into the workpiece material parallel to the joining surface of the two workpieces and which is focused into the workpiece material in the region of the joining surface to locally melt the two workpieces in the region of their joining surface, wherein the laser focus of the laser beam focused into the workpiece material is moved in or counter to the beam direction of the laser beam to produce in the region of the joining surface a weld seam extending along the beam direction.
