    Abstract: A laser source includes an optical resonator including first and second reflectors having first and second reflection spectral bands. A gain medium is disposed in the optical resonator. The gain medium has a gain spectrum. Center wavelengths of at least two of: the first reflection spectral band; the second reflection spectral band; or the gain spectrum are offset relative to each other for reduction of a spectral variance of the laser source. For example, the first and the second reflection spectral bands may be offset relative to one another to form an overlap area above a lasing threshold. The lasing is limited to the overlap area. When the overlap area accommodates a single lasing mode, the output emission of the laser source is monochromatic.

    Abstract: A laser including a solid state laser gain medium having a D-shaped cross section and an unstable resonator laser cavity including the solid state laser gain medium configured with a geometric magnification in a range of 1 to 5 under the intended operating conditions, including the effects of thermal lensing in the gain medium. An optical switching device in the unstable resonator laser cavity generates a pulse duration in the range of 0.05 to 100 nanoseconds. A diode-pump source is configured to inject pump light through the curved or barrel surface of the D-shaped gain medium.

    Abstract: A laser may comprise a ceramic body defining a chamber therein containing a laser gas. The ceramic body may include a plurality of parallel walls that partially define a first section of the chamber, the first section of the chamber defining a waveguide. The ceramic body may further include a plurality of oblique walls that partially define a second section of the chamber, the second section of the chamber being shaped to modify a transverse profile of a laser beam traveling through the second section of the chamber. The laser may further comprise a plurality of electrodes positioned outside the ceramic body and adjacent to the plurality of parallel walls such that only laser gas within the first section of the chamber is excited when an excitation signal is applied to the plurality of electrodes.

    Abstract: A unidirectional ring laser oscillator has a travelling wave unstable mode in one transverse dimension and either a waveguide or freespace Gaussian mode in the orthogonal transverse dimension for coupling to large volumes of asymmetric cross section laser gain media. This device concept is shown to have unique and innovative features such as an exchange of left for right in the intracavity radiation profile without having to employ concave optics. Also, a high insensitivity to misalignment of one of the intracavity ring optics is achieved without having to suffer any deleterious effects associated with the high intensity of radiation normally encountered at an intracavity focal plane. Unidirectional operation of the laser is achieved using both intracavity and extracavity optical techniques.
