Scalable, high power laser cavity for static metal vapor laser media
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6102409
The invention discloses a laser cavity for laser media requiring either interaction with the cavity walls or thermal diffusion for operability, which comprises a cavity volume of one or more concentric annular cells of a thickness and length permitted by the operability condition and conical reflective optical elements defining paths through the cavity. The advantage of such a system is that its volume and therefore its output is scalable by increasing the radial dimension of the cavity.
