    摘要: A laser system for operation at elevated temperatures with minimal cooling requirements. The laser system comprises a laser media having first and second optical ends and an input port. The laser system further comprises at least one high-temperature laser diode which optically communicates with the laser media and is operative to generate a source beam of light which is transmitted into the input port of the laser media. Optically communicating with the first optical end of the laser media is at least one reflector, while optically communicating with the second optical end of the laser media is at least one optical coupler. The laser media, the reflector and the optical coupler are configured to form a laser resonator operative to generate a laser beam which is transmitted through the optical coupler.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to an apparatus that increases the conversion efficiency of optical parametric oscillators and also reduces overall system size and susceptibility to vibration. The first embodiment of the present invention incorporates a PPLN OPO architecture which includes mirrored coatings on the entry surface area and exit surface area of a monolithic nonlinear optical medium. The coatings act as mirrors, however, the mirrors are actually affixed to the PPLN element. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the PPLN element is a dual grated element. The second embodiment of the present invention uses a single grated PPLN element.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to the field of optical devices and particularly to embodiments of a three-stage PPLN optical parametric oscillator/difference-frequency generator configuration. The present invention allows simultaneous generation of three wavelengths in efficient use of the pump signal. The structure of the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a first PPLN element having first and second grating regions, and a second PPLN element having its own grating period. An input coupler is positioned at the input and exit ends of a resonator cavity and the first PPLN element is positioned between the input coupler and the second PPLN element. A second embodiment of the present invention includes a single PPLN element having three separate grating regions. The single PPLN element is positioned between input and output coupler mirrors. A third embodiment of the present invention includes a single PPLN element having three grating regions. The input and output couplers are affixed directly to the input and exit facets of the PPLN element.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to the field of optical devices and particularly to embodiments of a four-stage PPLN optical parametric oscillator/difference-frequency generator configuration. The present invention allows simultaneously and colinear generation of four wavelengths in efficient use of the pump signal. A first embodiment comprises a singly resonant cavity having an internal monolithic non-linear optical medium disposed in the cavity. The cavity is bounded by an input mirror and an output mirror. The monolithic non-linear optical medium is divided into four regions each having its own grating period. A second embodiment of the present invention comprises a monolithic non-linear optical medium divided into four separate regions. The entrance facet and exit facet of the monolithic non-linear optical medium includes a coating which acts as the cavity mirrors.
