Method and system for compact and efficient high energy pulsed laser amplifier

Patent Erlandson, Alvin Charles

An optical amplifier system includes an input aperture operable to receive light propagating along an optical path in a first direction and a first polarizer disposed along the optical path. The first polarizer is operable to pass light having a polarization state aligned with a first polarization axis. The system also includes a first Pockels cell operable to receive light passing through the first polarizer, an optical gain element disposed along the optical path, a second Pockels cell disposed along the optical path, and a second polarizer disposed along the optical path. The second polarizer is operable to pass lightmore » « less

Ultrashort pulse high repetition rate laser system for biological tissue processing

Patent Neev, Joseph [Laguna Beach, CA]; Da Silva, Luiz B [Danville, CA]; Matthews, Dennis L [Moss Beach, CA]; ...

A method and apparatus is disclosed for fast, efficient, precise and damage-free biological tissue removal using an ultrashort pulse duration laser system operating at high pulse repetition rates. The duration of each laser pulse is on the order of about 1 fs to less than 50 ps such that energy deposition is localized in a small depth and occurs before significant hydrodynamic motion and thermal conduction, leading to collateral damage, can take place. The depth of material removed per pulse is on the order of about 1 micrometer, and the minimal thermal and mechanical effects associated with this ablation methodmore » « less

Method and means for generating a synchronizing pulse from a repetitive wave of varying frequency

Patent DeVolpi, Alexander [Lisle, IL]; Pecina, Ronald J [Westchester, IL]; Travis, Dale J [Lockport, IL]

An event that occurs repetitively at continuously changing frequencies can be used to generate a triggering pulse which is used to synchronize or control. The triggering pulse is generated at a predetermined percentage of the period of the repetitive waveform without regard to frequency. Counts are accumulated in two counters, the first counting during the "on" fraction of the period, and the second counting during the "off" fraction. The counts accumulated during each cycle are compared. On equality the trigger pulse is generated. Count input rates to each counter are determined by the ratio of the on-off fractions of themore » « less

Laser-driven high repetition rate source of ultrashort relativistic electron bunches

Patent Milchberg, Howard M.; Goers, Andrew; Hine, George; ...

A laser-plasma-based acceleration system includes a focusing element and a laser pulse emission directing a laser beam to the focusing element to such that laser pulses transform into a focused beam and a chamber defining a nozzle having a throat and an exit orifice, emitting a critical density range gas jet from the exit orifice for laser wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to the mid-infrared. the critical density range gas jet intersects the focused beam at an angle and in proximity to the exit orifice of the nozzle to define a point of intersection between the focused beam and the criticalmore » « less

Method and apparatus for generating high power laser pulses in the two to six micron wavelength range

Patent MacPherson, David C [Conifer, CO]; Nelson, Loren D [Evergreen, CO]; O'Brien, Martin J [Bailey, CO]

Apparatus performs a method of generating one or more output laser pulses in a range of 2 to 6 microns. When a plurality of the output laser pulses are generated, a first output pulse has any selected wavelength within the range and a second output pulse is temporally closely spaced relative to the first output pulse and has a chosen wavelength differing from the selected wavelength. An oscillator laser cavity is provided with a tunable oscillator rod capable of generating initial laser pulses within a range of from 750 to 1000 nm, and a tuning element is coupled to themore » « less
