    摘要: A laser ignition system, in particular for an internal combustion engine, including a vertical emitter and a laser-active crystal, the laser-active crystal being doped in at least some areas using ytterbium, the ytterbium-doped area having a length of 200 μm to 7000 μm. The monolithic laser is based on a YAG or LuAG host crystal having 3 differently doped areas: a laser-active ytterbium-doped area, an undoped area which determines the resonator length and therefore the pulse duration, and a chromium-doped or vanadium-doped area for the passive Q-switch. The resonator is delimited by 2 mirrors.

    摘要: A method of transferring energy in an optical fiber structure is disclosed. This method transfers energy from a cladding element of the fiber structure to a core element of the fiber structure. The core element includes an active gain component and an energy migration component. The cladding element, which surrounds the core element, includes the energy migration component. The structure and method can be utilized to provide either an optical fiber laser or an optical fiber amplifier. The method includes the steps of providing a pump for producing the energy and optically coupling the pump with the cladding element. The cladding element, including the energy migration component, is then pumped with the energy produced by the pump such that the energy is absorbed and stored in the cladding element by the energy migration component. The method further includes the step of transferring the energy stored in the cladding element to the core element by migration of the energy within the energy migration component to the active gain component such that the active gain component in the core element lases or provides gain.

    摘要: An eyesafe laser system includes a Q-switch crystal formed of a semiconductor host material having noncentrosymmetric tetrahedral substitutional sites doped with transition metal ions in concentrations from about 0.001 to about 0.10 atomic percent, which functions as to be a saturable absorber of light at eyesafe wavelengths with a relatively long relaxation lifetime. Co.sup.2+ :ZnSe has been demonstrated to have advantageously high absorption cross section and advantageously high relaxation lifetime at both 1.54 .mu.m (Er:glass laser) and 1.6 .mu.m (Er:YAG laser). Other candidate host materials include other zinc chalcogenides, cadmium chalcogenides and zinc oxide. The resultant Q-switch does not require additional focusing optics inside the cavity and has a saturation fluence which is approximately one order of magnitude less than other state of the art saturable absorbers in the "eyesafe" wavelength region, thereby permitting substantially faster Q-switch bleaching, lower thermal loads, and less potential for damage than was hitherto possible.

    摘要: A thin absorbing film is bonded onto at least certain surfaces of a solid state laser gain medium. An absorbing metal-dielectric multilayer film is optimized for a broad range of incidence angles, and is resistant to the corrosive/erosive effects of a coolant such as water, used in the forced convection cooling of the film. Parasitic oscillations hamper the operation of solid state lasers by causing the decay of stored energy to amplified rays trapped within the gain medium by total and partial internal reflections off the gain medium facets. Zigzag lasers intended for high average power operation require the ASE absorber.

    摘要: The specification discloses a process for modifying the environment of active atoms in a selected material by removing impurities from the environment. The material is heated at an elevated temperature in an atmosphere conducive to the formation of atomic oxygen so that the atomic oxygen can react with the atoms and molecules in the environment to remove the impurities in and thus alter selected properties of the material. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lasing efficiency of a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal is increased by heating the crystal at an elevated temperature in an atmosphere conducive to the formation of atomic oxygen so that the atomic oxygen can react with and remove impurities from the crystal to diminish the color center concentration therein and thus increase the fluorescence yield and lasing efficiency of the crystal.
