    摘要: Fiber Fabry-Perot Cavity laser phase plate for microscopy are described herein. In one aspect, a micro Fabry-Perot laser cavity for charged particle microscopy, can include: a first fiber assembly and a second fiber assembly, wherein each of the first fiber and the second fiber assembly includes: an entrance region including a single-mode fiber; a spacer region including a multimode fiber or a transparent substrate; a convergence region including a gradient index fiber or gradient index lens; and a speculum region including a multimode fiber or a transparent substrate, the entrance region, spacer region, the convergence region, and the speculum region being in optical communication with one another, and where a face of the speculum region of the first fiber assembly faces a face of the speculum region of the second fiber assembly, thereby defining a gap therebetween.

    摘要: A laser system includes a laser diode that, upon activation, selectively produces a continuous wave of laser light or uniformly spaced, intermittent pulses of laser light. The system further includes a laser focuser with a plurality of lenses that focus the laser light produces by the laser diode and direct the laser light to an optical resonator. The optical resonator includes a lasing medium that, when intersected by the laser light from the laser diode, produces a beam of laser light with a wavelength that may be used for therapeutic treatment. The system is operable to produce the therapeutic laser light when the laser diode is operating in either the continuous wave mode or the pulsed mode, without moving components of the system relative to one another.

    摘要: A surgical laser system includes a pump module configured to produce pump energy within an operating wavelength, a gain medium configured to convert the pump energy into first laser energy, a non-linear crystal (NLC) configured to convert a portion of the first laser energy into second laser energy, which is a harmonic of the first laser energy, an output, and a first path diversion assembly having first and second operating modes. When the first path diversion assembly is in the first operating mode, the first laser energy is directed along the output path to the output, and the second laser energy is diverted from the output path and the output. When the first path diversion assembly is in the second operating mode, the second laser energy is directed along the output path to the output, and the first laser energy is diverted from the output path and the output.
