Intersecting pump beams form a transient ionization grating that diffracts the main pulse while letting pre-pulses pass, improving laser temporal contrast.
Pulse-width modulation and harmonic output adjustment keep 1064 nm and 532 nm laser beams stable in shape, energy, and treatment use.
Nonmechanical optical frequency scanning switches channel bands and propagation angles to improve multi-channel distance measurement and noise tolerance.
A perpendicular etalon placed near the output reflector limits wavelength without enlarging the resonator, while suppressing unwanted resonance.
Multiple frequency-tripled solid-state lasers are combined into a UV line beam for annealing, cutting excimer cost while preserving pulse energy.
A Tm:Lu2O3 pulsed laser uses staged frequency quadrupling to reach 486.13 nm with narrow bandwidth and high peak power for underwater sensing.
A convex-concave mirror beam expander stabilizes laser beam width and polarization, improving exposure resolution without fragile line-narrowing optics.
A silicon-assisted SOA and U-turn chip assembly replaces bulky beam-steering optics, shrinking FMCW LiDAR while improving reliability.
Direct diode-pumped Cr-doped mid-IR pulses use spectral broadening and f-2f detection to stabilize CEO with lower noise and less complexity.
Voltage-driven electro-optic prism steering enables faster, more accurate excimer laser wavelength control to reduce chromatic aberration.
Flexure mounts separate heat-generating optical elements from the baseplate to limit thermal expansion and preserve cavity stability and beam quality.
A fluorescent concentrator couples trapped light into a thin laser medium to raise pump power density, gain, and optical damage tolerance.
