  • Patent number: 11367991
    Abstract: A device for generating laser radiation comprises a temperature-controlled optical setup comprising an optically non-linear solid state medium arranged in a resonator and an active region. The outgoing laser radiation is generated from a pump beam introduced into the optically non-linear solid state medium. A first temperature actuator and a second temperature actuator configured to independently adjust temperature values in the active region of the optically non-linear solid state medium. The first temperature actuator is configured regulate a length of the resonator by setting a first temperature value within a first portion of the active region. The second temperature actuator is configured to match phases of wavelengths generated by the outgoing laser radiation and phases of wavelengths of the pump beam radiation by setting a second temperature value within a second portion of the active region.

  • Publication number: 20090201967
    Abstract: The present invention provides a laser device wherein one diffraction grating and at least two reflectors are arranged such that two coupled resonators are formed for the light path. This laser device is an arrangement forming a first optical resonator comprising a first and a second reflector including in its light path the diffraction by the grating. The second reflector is arranged perpendicularly to an order of diffraction of the grating. Coupled with the first resonator (A), there is provided a second mirror-reflective resonator between a mirror-reflective surface of the grating and the second reflector. In the case of the grating having an even number of ports, the second resonator needs completion by a third reflector arranged to reflect light from specular reflection by the grating back to the grating. For gratings having an odd number of ports, the second reflector is arranged in parallel to the grating. The laser medium is preferably arranged between the first reflector and the grating.
