Abstract: A medical laser system including a first laser source having a first gain medium for generating a first optical field. The system further includes a first Q-switch controlling a resonance quality of the first laser source, a control circuit controlling the first Q-switch to cause the first laser source to generate the first optical field as a first pulse train of laser pulses, a second laser source for generating a second optical field as a second pulse train of laser pulses, a nonlinear medium for generating a third optical field by a nonlinear interaction between the first optical field and the second optical field, and a sensor detecting a property of at least one of the optical fields. The control circuit controls operation of the first Q-switch so as to adjust a relative timing of the laser pulses of the first pulse train and the laser pulses of the second pulse train responsive to the detected property.

Abstract: A High-power sum frequency generator system including a first electromagnetic source for generating a first fundamental field and a second fundamental field emitted along a propagation path, and a first nonlinear component and a second nonlinear component arranged in series along the propagation path. The first nonlinear component generates a first sum frequency field from the first fundamental field and the second fundamental field, the first sum frequency field having a first polarization. The second nonlinear component generates a second sum frequency field from the first and second fundamental fields, the second sum frequency field having a second polarization. The system has an output that includes the first sum frequency field and the second sum frequency field, and a direction of the first polarization forms a mutual angle with a direction of the second polarization such that the two polarizations are non-parallel.
