  • Publication number: 20260066611
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the optoelectronic light source includes a first semiconductor laser configured to emit a first laser beam, and a redirecting optical element, wherein the first laser beam runs from the first semiconductor laser to a first primary reflection zone and further directly from the first primary reflection zone to a first secondary reflection zone of the redirecting optical element, directly after the first semiconductor laser, the first laser beam has an asymmetric beam cross-section, the redirecting optical element reduces an asymmetry of the beam cross-section of the first laser beam, and with a tolerance of at most 45°, directly after the first semiconductor laser the first laser beam (L1) may run antiparallel relative to the first laser beam directly after the first secondary reflection zone.

  • Patent number: 12564443
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20250125590
    Abstract: 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.
