U channel waveguide laser
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5695826
A RF-powered waveguide laser is described which consists of: first and second electrodes having first and second parallel, facing electrode surfaces positioned on opposite sides of an optical axis; an insulating member positioned between the first and second parallel electrode surfaces and containing an optical waveguide disposed about the optic axis; reflective means for defining an optical cavity containing the waveguide; a gain medium disposed within the optical cavity; RF-pumping means for applying power to the electrodes for resonating, in at least one electromagnetic mode, laser radiation in the gain medium disposed within the optical cavity; characterized in that: the optical waveguide has a cross section perpendicular to the optic axis that is asymmetric about the optic axis.
