    摘要: A passively cooled solid-state laser system for producing high-output power is set forth. The system includes an optics bench assembly containing a laser head assembly which generates a high-power laser beam. A laser medium heat sink assembly is positioned in thermal communication with the laser medium for conductively dissipating waste heat and controlling the temperature of the laser medium. A diode array heat sink assembly is positioned in thermal communication with the laser diode array assembly for conductively dissipating waste heat and controlling the temperature of the laser diode array assembly. The heat sink assemblies include heat exchangers with extending surfaces in intimate contact with phase change material. When the laser system is operating, the phase change material transitions from solid to liquid phase. This transition of the phase change material also provides a thermal buffer for laser components such that the phase change material absorbs the energy associated with fluctuations in ambient temperature before transferring it to the laser component. Also, the heat sink assembly can contain more than one type of phase change material, each having a different melting temperature.

    摘要: In a monolithic optical ring resonator an optically transparent member is faceted so that the input and output beams of the resonator are coupled through a common facet at widely divergent angles in excess of 45 degrees and preferably 90 degrees. In this manner the resonator is miniaturized. The ring resonator member is contained in an evacuated housing to eliminate time-varying convective thermal detuning effects. The ring resonator is coupled in heat-exchanging relation with heating and temperature sensing film resistors deposited upon a major face of a substrate member.
