    摘要: A dielectric electrode assembly, and a method (600) of manufacture thereof, including: a dielectric tube (226) having a cylindrical cross-section and a relative dielectric constant, ε2, the dielectric tube (226) filled with a gas having a relative dielectric constant, ε1; a structural dielectric (225) having a relative dielectric constant, ε3 surrounding the dielectric tube (226); metal electrodes (224) on opposite sides of the structural dielectric (225), the metal electrodes (224) having a flat cross-sectional geometry; and the structural dielectric (225) made from a material selected such that the relative dielectric constants of the structural dielectric (225), the dielectric tube (226), and the gas are interrelated and an approximately uniform electric field is generated within the dielectric tube (226) when power is applied to the metal electrodes (224).

    摘要: Techniques and architecture are disclosed for managing alkali vapor concentration in a lasing gas at non-condensing levels. In some instances, the disclosed techniques/architecture can be used to control and/or stabilize the concentration of alkali vapor in a lasing gas volume to any desired fraction of its saturation value under dynamically changing thermal loads. In some such instances, the concentration of alkali vapor in a given lasing gas volume can be maintained at a value which is sufficiently far from the saturation point to prevent or otherwise reduce condensation of the alkali vapor, for example, upon accelerating the lasing gas through a pressure drop into an optical pumping cavity of an alkali vapor laser system (e.g., such as a diode-pumped alkali laser, or DPAL, system). In some instances, the disclosed techniques/architecture can be used to establish a temperature gradient and/or an alkali vapor concentration gradient in the flowing lasing gas volume.

    摘要: There was the problem that the pressure of the laser medium rises from the target value by the heat when generating laser light. The laser oscillator includes a controller, laser medium flow path, resonator part, blower, pressure detecting part, laser medium supply-exhaust part, and temporary stop command part. The controller controls the resonator part to stop to generate laser light if a temporary stop is commanded, controls the blower 18 to slow the rotational speed of the blower from the first rotational speed to the second rotational speed, and controls the laser medium supply-exhaust part so that the pressure is the second target value lower than the pressure at the time when the rotational speed of the blower is the second rotational speed.

    摘要: A laser oscillator according to this invention includes a resonator unit, heat exchangers, fans, a resonator temperature measuring unit, and a fan control unit. The resonator unit resonates a laser beam to be output. The heat exchangers are arranged adjacent to the resonator unit and are to be supplied with a cooling liquid. The fans are arranged at least at one of two opposite positions across both the resonator unit and the heat exchangers and generate airflow in one direction, which passes through both the resonator unit and the heat exchangers. The resonator temperature measuring unit measures the temperature of the resonator unit. The fan control unit controls the fans. The fan control unit switches the direction in which air is blown by the fans, based on the temperature of the resonator unit.

    摘要: A laser machine includes a laser oscillator, a cooler for cooling the laser oscillator, and a control unit for controlling the laser oscillator and the cooler. The control unit includes a controller that stops base discharge of the laser oscillator at a time when a specified time has elapsed from a stop of laser light emission by the laser oscillator. According to the laser machine, since base discharge of the laser oscillator is stopped after the specified time has elapsed from the stop of laser light emission, wasteful energy (power) consumption of the laser oscillator in a standby state can be restricted.
