  • Patent number: 9431785
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high power ultra-short pulsed laser device increasing pulse energy by using resonators. A pulsed laser device may comprise a first resonator making a pump beam resonate primarily and passing the pump beam which resonated through a first output mirror; and a second resonator comprising a first multiple reflection mirror and a second multiple reflection mirror. Also, the first multiple reflection mirror includes at least one first small area mirror, and the second multiple reflection mirror includes at least one second small area mirror, and the second resonator makes the laser beam delivered from the first resonator resonate by reflecting the laser beam repetitively. Therefore, the pulsed laser device may increase pulse energy without using a multi-stage amplifier so that a high power ultra-short pulsed laser beam can be generated.

  • Patent number: 8275009
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a green laser generation device which can be applied to a cellular phone, and more particularly to a green laser generation device which is ultra compact in size having volume of 1 cc or less, despite having a built-in thermo electric cooler, and has sufficient output power, despite having low power consumption, and a portable electronic machine having a laser projection display using the said device. The present invention provides a green laser generation device comprising an LD pump constituted by a photo diode; a fundamental generator generating infrared light laser according to the driving of the LD pump; a second harmonic generator generating green light using the generated infrared light laser; a polarization maintenance unit inserted between the fundamental generator and the second harmonic generator to maintain the polarization of the laser; and a temperature controller controlling an internal temperature of the green laser generation device.

  • Patent number: 7630416
    Abstract: Provided is a high-repetition-rate femtosecond regenerative amplification system. The regenerative amplification system includes: a laser oscillator emitting pulses; a stretcher stretching the pulses with negative dispersion; a regenerative amplifier amplifying the pulses, the regenerative amplifier comprising an acousto-optic modulator for pulse switching, a pulsed pump laser for pumping a gain medium, a resonator for reciprocating the pulses between a plurality of mirrors, and at least one chirped mirror for providing negative dispersion; and a glass compressor compressing the pulses. Accordingly, the 100 kHz-class high-repetition-rate femtosecond regenerative amplification system can produce an output energy of tens of ?J, higher than a few ?J provided by a conventional system.

  • Patent number: 5633884
    Abstract: Self-seeding method and apparatus for a dual cavity type tunable laser utilizing a diffraction grating are disclosed, in which first diffracted beams and 0th diffracted beams are utilized. The self-seeding method and apparatus for a dual cavity type tunable laser are constituted such that two oscillators are internally provided by utilizing a diffraction grating and by making a single medium shared, so that the respective oscillators would serve as a master oscillator and a slave oscillator, thereby making it possible to save optical devices. Further, in the present invention, only one partially reflecting mirror is disposed on the output portion of a GIM (grazing incidence with tuning mirror) type oscillator, so that a self-seeding would occur, and that the laser output would be greatly amplified with the oscillation linewidth maintained without variations.

  • Patent number: 5550850
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for precisely wavelength-tuning single longitudinal mode tunable laser beams by utilizing a wedge prism are disclosed in which, instead of a tuning mirror, a prism is rotated, so that a single longitudinal mode can be maintained without causing a mode hopping of the longitudinal mode, thereby precisely tuning the wavelength. That is, a wedge prism 4 is inserted into the single longitudinal mode tunable laser resonator, and the prism is rotated, thereby precisely tuning the wavelength of the laser beams.
