    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for hermetically sealing a nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal for use in a laser system. A mounted NLO crystal, an enclosure base, a lid, and a plurality of window components are moved into an oven. A vacuum bake process is then performed on the mounted NLO crystal, enclosure base, lid, and plurality of window components until a humidity level that is less than a predefined amount is reached. The mounted NLO crystal, enclosure base, lid, and plurality of window components are moved from the oven onto a stage of a glove box that includes a sealing tool. In the glove box, the mounted NLO crystal is hermetically sealed into the enclosure base by sealing the lid and plurality of window components into openings of the enclosure base.

    Abstract: A refillable plasma cell for use in a laser-sustained plasma light source includes a plasma bulb, the bulb being formed from a glass material substantially transparent to a selected wavelength of radiation, and a gas port assembly, the gas port assembly being operably connected to the bulb and disposed at a first portion of the gas bulb, wherein the bulb is configured to selectively receive a gas from a gas source via the gas port assembly.

    Abstract: A fluid input manifold distributes injected fluid around the body of a bulb to cool the bulb below a threshold. The injected fluid also distributes heat more evenly along the surface of the bulb to reduce thermal stress. The fluid input manifold may comprise one or more airfoils to direct a substantially laminar fluid flow along the surface of the bulb or it may comprise a plurality of fluid injection nozzles oriented to produce a substantially laminar fluid flow. An output portion may be configured to facilitate fluid flow along the surface of the bulb by allowing injected fluid to easily escape after absorbing heat from the bulb or by applying negative pressure to actively draw injected fluid along the surface of the bulb and away.
