摘要:
Infrared laser light generated by a solid state diode pumped transform-limited Ti:Sapphire laser is converted to UV wavelengths using third and fourth harmonic generation systems. The resulting output is tunable between approximately 187 and 333 nm. The combined solid state Ti:Sapphire laser and harmonic generation system includes feedback mechanisms for improved power and wavelength stability. The system can operate at pulse repetition rates of several thousand Hertz.

System and method for laser micro-machining of crystalline and polycrystalline materials such as silicon that produces smooth surfaces. The invention is applied to integrated circuit applications including probing or modification of circuit components, electrical connections through silicon substrates, establishing ground plains within integrated circuits, and connections between circuits developed on opposing sides of a single substrate. Methods involve the use of femtosecond light pulses of short wavelength and circular polarization. A specific fluence region is used to obtain machined surfaces with smoothness to within one micron.

An efficient, powerful and reliable system for amplifying optical pulses. Seed-pulses are generated by a seed-pulse source and are transmitted to an optical amplifier for amplification. The power for the amplification is provided by a Q-switched, diode-pumped, extracavity frequency-doubled pump laser.

摘要:
A cladding stripper includes a plurality of transversal notches or grooves in the outer surface of an exposed inner cladding of a double clad optical fiber. Position and orientation of the notches can be selected to even out cladding light release along the cladding light stripper, enabling more even temperature distributions due to released cladding light. The notches on the optical fiber can be made with a laser ablation system.
摘要:
A dispersive laser pulse stretcher and compressor comprises a stretcher portion and a compressor portion. A first mirror, a second mirror, a third mirror, a first grating, a first lens, and a first vertical retroreflector block comprise the stretcher portion. A fourth mirror, a second grating, a horizontal retroreflector, and a second vertical retroreflector block preferably comprise the compressor portion. The input beams for the stretcher and compressor are preferably parallel beams. The present invention also positions the first grating of the stretcher in a parallel plane with the second grating of the compressor. The present invention also includes a method for simultaneously aligning the input angles of the stretcher and compressor, the method comprises the steps of: removing the first and second diffraction gratings; aligning the input beam for the stretcher portion; aligning the input beam for the compressor portion; mounting the first and second gratings on a mounting block in parallel planes, and rotating the mounting block until the proper input angle for the laser wavelength is reached.
