Title:
IMPROVED LASER CAVITY ASSEMBLY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1995/018478
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A laser cavity assembly includes means (12, 13, 14; 14", 56, 57) defining respective optical resonance cavities (20, 22) for stimulated radiation of different wavelengths, which cavities include at least some common volume. Such means includes window means (13, 14) for emission of radiation amplified in the respective cavities. Means (15, 54) in one of said cavities is responsive to stimulated radiation emitted by a laser medium at one of the wavelengths to emit radiation at another of the wavelengths. Dual mode means (12, 54) has respective selectable first and second modes at which the laser cavity assembly is adapted to emit laser radiation predominantly at the respective wavelengths. Also disclosed are a novel Q-switch device and a combination laser oscillator and dual mode means.
