Patent
Laser apparatus having multiple synchronous amplifiers tied to one master oscillator
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a beam splitter that divides a signal from the master oscillator into two or more sub-signals, and each output head receives one of the two sub signals.
Patent
Light source with precisely controlled wavelength-converted average power
TL;DR: In this paper, a control of the average wavelength-converted power and/or wavelength converted pulse energy is described, where one or more seed pulses may be generated and amplified with an optical amplifier to produce a set of amplified pulses.
Patent
Reducing thermal load on optical head
Mark W. Byer,Manuel J. Leonardo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method for reducing a thermal load on an optical head by using optical fibers, where waste light is captured at one or more locations in the optical head and directed to a location that is thermally isolated from the other locations using or more optical fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulated Brillouin scattering of pulses in optical fibers.
TL;DR: The analysis gives a firm theoretical prediction that the Brillouin gain width increases dramatically for intense pulses, from tens of MHz to one GHz or more.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
3-Watt blue source based on 914-nm Nd:YVO4 passively-Q-switched laser amplified in cladding-pumped Nd:fiber

TL;DR: A cladding-pumped Nd:silica fiber with a fundamental mode cutoff near 1000 nm was used to build an amplifier with gain over a range near 920 nm as discussed by the authors.
