Abstract: A broad bandwidth optical amplifier (50) includes an optical pump source (52). A Raman chamber (56) is coupled to an output (54) of the optical pump source (52). An optical fiber ring (62) having a first end (64) is coupled to a first end (66) of the Raman chamber (56). A second end (60) of the optical fiber is coupled to a second end (58) of the Raman chamber (56). A doped optical fiber is coupled to a second end of the optical fiber ring. The Raman chamber produces a number resonant Raman stokes lines.

Abstract: A system for producing singlet delta oxygen has a source of liquid oxygen. A reactor has an input connected to the source of liquid oxygen. An optical pump is connected to an optical input of the reactor. The system can be by used as a laser by placing an optical resonator and a source of molecular iodine near the output of the reactor.

Abstract: A tunable solid state laser has an optical quality solid material impregnated with a halogen dopant. An optical cavity resonator contains the solid material. An optical excitation source is coupled to the solid material. The doped material has additional applications as a coating to produce white light from blue light emitting diodes.

Abstract: A generator produces a flow of gaseous molecular oxygen in the singlet sigma and/or singlet delta excited electronic states. The generator is comprised of an optical source; coupling optics to transport and concentrate optical source light; a vacuum chamber, reflective optics; a wall cooling system; an inlet system for injecting oxygen; an inlet system for injecting other gases which deactivate singlet sigma oxygen to singlet delta oxygen; and a means for interfacing this device to a lasing device and for directly flowing the singlet sigma or singlet delta oxygen into a laser cavity.
