    摘要: A laser resonator is provided that includes a cavity bounded by an end mirror and output coupler, and one or more gain media between the end mirror and output coupler. The laser resonator also includes a modal corrector mirror between the end mirror and output coupler. The modal corrector mirror includes a controllable-profile faceplate including an optically-treated front surface, and an array of static actuators. Each static actuator includes an adjustable element, and a compliant mechanism located between the adjustable element and faceplate. The adjustable element is configured to exert a selectable, localized push-pull force on the faceplate via the compliant mechanism, and the compliant mechanism is configured to scale the respective force.

    摘要: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to waveguide lasers (e.g., RF-excited waveguide lasers). Certain example embodiments of this invention provide an optical mounting scheme for use with a waveguide laser. In certain example embodiments, a carrier including an optic holder may be provided. An optic may be mounted to the carrier via a face-sealing epoxy. An optic interface may be formed at least in part by the epoxy. The optic interface may be a thin layer of a substantially uniform thickness located between the carrier and optic face. The carrier and/or the optic holder of the carrier may be beveled proximate to where the optic interface is formed and, optionally, proximate to where the epoxy is applied. In certain example embodiments, the epoxy may be applied to only the optic's face and/or to the optic holder's face. In certain example embodiments, the waveguide laser may further comprise a vacuum vessel, and the carrier may be attached to the laser such that the optic and/or the optic interface attached to the carrier fit inside of the vessel.

    摘要: A support unit (20a) for supporting an OPM holder (15a) so as to be vertical to the laser beam axis is disposed in the lower part of the OPM holder (15a). A rotary shaft (19) is inserted into the support unit (20a) and rotary shaft support unit (20b), and the OPM holder (15a) and DT base (17) are assembled together. Thus, a rotation support unit (200) is composed. The rotation support unit has a degree of freedom in the rotating direction of arrow (202). On the other hand, in the lower part of an RM holder (15b), a support bar (21) is provided. At the DT base (17), a rotating element (22) and a rotating element support unit (23) supporting the rotating element are composed so as to support the support bar. Thus, a slider structure (220) slidable in the optical axis direction is formed. The slider structure has a degree of freedom in the direction of arrow (222).
