Abstract

The disclosure relates to a solid state laser rod holder comprising Invar, copper tubing, and epoxy joints. Materials and coefficients of expansion of the components of the holder combine with the rod to produce a joint which will give before the rod itself will. The rod may be lased at about 70 to 80/sup 0/K and returned from such a temperature to room temperature repeatedly without its or the holder's destruction.

Engine push rod holder

Patent Hamatani, G.

This patent describes an alignment and supporting tool for simultaneously positioning push rods in proper position for assembly in an internal combustion engine, the combination comprising: a body portion including a head portion displaced with respect to the body on one side of a vertical centerline of the body, and pairs of aligned finger portions extending downwardly from the head and substantially on the opposite side of the centerline. Each finger of each of the pairs is integrally and resiliently secured to the body and configured to engage opposite sides of a common push rod and to apply a resilientmore »« less
Laser diode pumped solid state laser with miniaturized laser head

Patent Baer, T.M.; Keirstead, M.S.

A compact laser head is described comprising: a compact hollow housing; a miniaturized solid state laser rod mounted in the housing; laser cavity means defining a miniaturized laser cavity mounted in the housing with the rod in the cavity, the laser cavity means including output coupler means; precision optical alignment connector means mounted to the housing so that a region of absorption of pumping radiation transmitted through the optical fiber is matched to a lasing beam volume of the laser cavity so as to maximize absorption of the pump radiation in the laser beam volume.
Laser diode pumped solid state laser with miniaturized quick disconnect laser head

Patent Baer, T.M.; Keirstead, M.S.

A compact laser head is described comprising: a compact hollow housing; a miniaturized solid state laser rod mounted in the housing; a miniaturized output coupling mirror mounted in the housing; the laser rod and output coupling mirror forming a miniaturized laser cavity; and precision optical alignment connector means mounted to the housing for connecting an optical fiber to the housing. The connector means provide quick disconnect of the optical fiber to the housing and optical alignment of an output from the fiber with the laser cavity.
Room-temperature, laser diode-pumped, Q-switched, 2 micron, thulium-doped, solid state laser

Patent Esterowitz, L.; Stoneman, R.C.

A room-temperature, laser-pumped, Q-switched, thulium-doped, solid state laser for producing pulses of laser emission at substantially 2 microns is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the laser comprises: a laser cavity defined by first and second reflective path elements opposing each other on a common axis to form a reflective path there between; a laser crystal disposed in the laser cavity, the laser crystal having a host material doped with an amount of thulium activator ions sufficient to produce a laser emission at substantially 2 microns from the 3F4 to 3H6 laser transition in the thulium activator ions when the lasermore »« less
