Patent number: 12564443Abstract: A laser system may include a controller configured to direct a plurality of temporally spaced-apart electrical pulses to a device that optically pumps a lasing medium, and a lasing medium configured to output a quasi-continuous laser pulse in response to the optical pumping. The plurality of temporally spaced-apart electrical pulses may include (a) a first electrical pulse configured to excite the lasing medium to an energy level below a lasing threshold of the lasing medium, and (b) multiple second electrical pulses following the first electrical pulse. The quasi-continuous laser pulse is output in response to the multiple second electrical pulses.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2024Date of Patent: March 3, 2026Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Werner Falkenstein, Michael Schubert, Stephan Dittmar, Anna Butsch, Thomas Kremser

Publication number: 20250125590Abstract: The invention relates to a laser package comprising a first laser diode for emitting light of a first wavelength and at least one second laser diode for emitting light of a second wavelength. The laser package also comprises a reflector module which is arranged in the beam path of the first and of the at least one second laser diode and which is configured to shape the light emitted by the laser diodes and to deflect it by at least 90° in the direction of an optical fiber with respect to an emission direction of the first and of the at least one second laser diode. The light guide runs essentially parallel to the emission direction and comprises an incoupling structure which is configured to couple the light deflected by the reflector module in the direction of the light guide into the light guide.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2022Publication date: April 17, 2025Applicant: ams-OSRAM International GmbHInventor: Anna BUTSCH
