    摘要: External-cavity optically-pumped semiconductor lasers (OPS-lasers) including an OPS-structure having a mirror-structure surmounted by a surface-emitting, semiconductor multilayer (periodic) gain-structure are disclosed. The gain-structure is pumped by light from diode-lasers. The OPS-lasers can provide fundamental laser output-power of about two Watts (2.0 W) or greater. Intracavity frequency-converted arrangements of the OPS-lasers can provide harmonic laser output-power of about one-hundred milliwatts (100 mW) or greater, even at wavelengths in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. These high output powers can be provided even in single axial-mode operation. Particular features of the OPS-lasers include a heat sink-assembly for cooling the OPS-structure, a folded resonator concept for providing optimum beam size at optically-nonlinear crystals used for frequency conversion, preferred selection of optically-nonlinear materials for frequency-conversion, and compound resonator designs for amplifying second harmonic-radiation for subsequent conversion to third or fourth harmonic radiation.

    摘要: A solid-state laser having a laser resonator which includes an etalon to allow a single longitudinal mode of oscillation to occur in the width of the wavelength which permits the oscillation of the medium of the solid-state laser. The etalon is interposed in the resonator which is constituted of a surface of a resonant mirror and one end surface of a solid-state laser medium, and wherein the interval of the longitudinal modes of the etalon is set to be in the range from approximately one half to one width of the oscillation wavelength of the medium of a solid-state laser. At the same time, the ratio, with respect to the optical length, of the etalon to the resonator is selected to be about a half integer.
