Modular laser system

Abstract

A modular laser system comprises a docking system and at least one laser module. The docking system comprises: a frame; a plurality of docks provided on the frame each of the plurality of docks being for releasable engagement with a laser module; and combining optics disposed within the frame. Each laser module is operable to generate a radiation beam and output the laser beam through an output of the laser module, each laser module releasably engaged with a different one of the plurality of docks. The combining optics combines the laser beams from the laser modules to form a single output radiation beam. Each of the plurality of docks is provided with a safety component to block radiation from propagating out of the frame through the window of that dock.
