A corona-discharge type, preionizer assembly for a gas discharge laser is disclosed. The assembly may include an electrode and a hollow, dielectric tube that defines a tube bore. In one aspect, the electrode may include a first elongated 0o conductive member having a first end disposed in the bore of the tube. In addition, the electrode may include a second elongated conductive member having a first end disposed in the bore and spaced from the first end of the first conductive member. For the assembly, the first and second conductive members may be held at a same voltage potential.

An RF excited laser assembly includes a pair of opposed electrodes, and at least one inductor. The pair of opposed electrodes defines an inter-electrode gap that provides a discharge volume for laser propagation within a gas medium. The pair of opposed electrodes define one or more discharge-free regions within a laser-free region in the inter-electrode gap. The least one inductor is electrically connected to both electrodes and extends between the electrodes within the inter-electrode gap and inside of the one or more discharge-free regions within the laser-free region.
摘要:
A nitride semiconductor laser device of the present invention has an electrical connection point which is provided outside of a pair of trenches in the surface of an upper electrode layer so as to make an electrical connection to the outside. The thickness between the surface of the upper electrode layer and a nitride semiconductor growth layer in the electrical connection point is larger than the thickness between the upper electrode layer and the nitride semiconductor growth layer immediately above a ridge.
摘要:
A fast current-controlled polarization switching VCSEL with two independent intra-cavity p-contact electrodes and two independent intra-cavity n-contact electrodes positioned along the four sides of the symmetric aperture such that there are two independent p- and n-contact pairs placed on opposite sides of the aperture in a non-overlapping configuration. The anisotropy resulting from the unidirectional current flow causes the light output to be polarized perpendicular to the direction of current flow. A VCSEL driver circuit switches the polarization state of the output light by using the two orthogonal pairs of non-overlapping intra-cavity contacted electrodes to change the direction of current flow into the VCSEL aperture by 90 degrees.
摘要:
A laser waveguide, where the laser waveguide can be formed by electrodes and at least one sidewall in a manner allowing a more compact structure than previously provided. Protrusions in the electrodes allow easier laser starts, and sectional sidewall(s) allow easier fabrication of sidewall(s), decreasing manufacturing costs.
摘要:
Electrodes for a fluorine gas discharge laser are disclosed which may comprise a crown straddling the centerline axis between the pair of side walls and the pair of end walls, comprising a first material, forming at least a portion of the discharge region of the electrode; the crown in traverse cross section having the shape of the upper half of a canted ellipse rotated in the preionizer direction, such that a tangent to the short centerline axis of the ellipse forms an angle with the horizontal. Another embodiment may comprise an anode blade having a top portion and a first and second sidewall portion each intersecting the top portion; the anode blade being formed with the shape in cross section of the top portion being curvilinear and intersecting the generally straight potions of each of first and second sidewall portions along a radius of curvature and with the top portion beveled away from an asymmetric discharge side of the anode.
