Side-arm phase-conjugated laser
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5733539
A phase-conjugated Q-switched laser is described including: a starter cavity defined by opposed reflectors; a laser active material in the starter cavity; a pump for the laser active material; a side-arm containing a phase conjugate mirror consisting of a lens and a stimulated Brillouin scattering cell; means for optically coupling the starter cavity to the side-arm and including a quarterwave plate and a polarizer in the starter cavity, wherein the cell acts as a Q-switch by undergoing stimulated Brillouin scattering when the laser active material is pumped by the pump and a laser beam of sufficient power is reached.
