Techniques for reducing and/or eliminating secondary modes in a dye laser oscillator

Patent Hackel, Richard P [Livermore, CA]

A dye laser master oscillator is disclosed herein. This oscillator is intended to provide a single mode output, that is, a primary beam of light of a specific wavelength, but also has the tendency to provide secondary modes, that is, secondary beams of light at different wavelengths and slightly off-axis with respect to the primary beam as a result of grazing incident reflections within the dye cell forming part of the master oscillator. Also disclosed herein are a number of different techniques for reducing or eliminating these secondary modes.

Feedback stabilization system for pulsed single longitudinal mode tunable lasers

Patent Esherick, Peter [Albuquerque, NM]; Raymond, Thomas D [Albuquerque, NM]

A feedback stabilization system for pulse single longitudinal mode tunable lasers having an excited laser medium contained within an adjustable length cavity and producing a laser beam through the use of an internal dispersive element, including detection of angular deviation in the output laser beam resulting from detuning between the cavity mode frequency and the passband of the internal dispersive element, and generating an error signal based thereon. The error signal can be integrated and amplified and then applied as a correcting signal to a piezoelectric transducer mounted on a mirror of the laser cavity for controlling the cavity length.

Fiber optics interface for a dye laser oscillator and method

Patent Johnson, Steve A [Tracy, CA]; Seppala, Lynn G [Pleasanton, CA]

A dye laser oscillator in which one light beam is used to pump a continuous tream of dye within a cooperating dye chamber for producing a second, different beam is generally disclosed herein along with a specific arrangement including an optical fiber and a fiber optics interface for directing the pumping beam into the dye chamber. The specific fiber optics interface illustrated includes three cooperating lenses which together image one particular dimension of the pumping beam into the dye chamber from the output end of the optical fiber in order to insure that the dye chamber is properly illuminated bymore » the pumping beam.« less

Master dye laser oscillator including a specific grating assembly for use therein

Patent Davin, James M [Livermore, CA]

A dye laser oscillator for producing a tuned dye beam is disclosed herein and includes, among other components, a beam output coupling assembly, a dye cell assembly, a beam expander assembly, an etalon assembly, and a grating assembly. Each of three assemblies is vertically supported from a horizontal base so as to be readily removable from the base without interference from or interfering with the other assemblies. The particular grating assembly disclosed is specifically designed for proper optical alignment with the intended path of the dye beam to be produced and for accurate pivotal movement relative to the beam pathmore »« less
