CW laser amplifier |
November 7, 2000 |
| A solid state laser amplifier includes a diode pump source and a crystal capable of lasing light at a fundamental wavelength. The source is directed into the crystal, and a seed beam is also coupled along an input path into the crystal to initiate lasing, which amplifies the seed beam. |

Fiber stub end-pumped laser |
December 7, 1999 |
| A laser diode package (1) couples laser diode outputs into a plurality of fibers (21), and these are bundled and brought to an output face (2') that produces a divergent composite beam from the fiber ends (21'). The beam end pumps a solid state laser (100) across a gap (6), and the diver |

Pulsed laser with passive stabilization |
November 9, 1999 |
| A diode pumped doubling system employs a pump diode, a crystal and doubler in a laser cavity with the diode and is operated in a pulsed or low duty cycle pumping regimen, while the cavity length is sufficiently short to stabilize the transient responses to pulsed diode operation and prod |

Fiber stub end-pumped laser |
September 2, 1997 |
| A laser diode package couples laser diode outputs into a plurality of fibers, and these are bundled and brought to an output face that produces a divergent composite beam from the fiber ends. The beam end pumps a solid-state laser across a gap, and the divergence allows a wide tolerance |

Scalable side-pumped solid-state laser |
May 28, 1996 |
| A side-pumped solid laser employs diode array pumping to produce a near-diffraction-limited output beam in at least one dimension of the output beam, while maintaining high efficiency operation. Conversion efficiency is enhanced by orientation of a nonlinear crystal for enhanced beam |

Passively stabilized intracavity doubling laser |
April 23, 1996 |
| A diode pumped laser is wavelength converted using an intracavity non-linear optical crystal, and the wavelength converted output is passively stabilized by a short cavity using unpolarized laser output. End pumping limits the number of transverse cavity modes, and intracavity etalon |
