Patent number: 5475197Abstract: For defined ablation of a surface, successive partial regions of equal surface area are acted on by a radiation source, preferably a laser, through an optical system. The partial regions are smaller as regards surface area than the whole surface to be processed, so that the respective radiation source can be dimensioned in a less costly manner. Telescope optics with conical surfaces serve as optical systems suitable for this purpose.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1993Date of Patent: December 12, 1995Assignee: Carl-Zeiss-StiftungInventors: Walter Wrobel, Theo Lasser, Peter Reimer, Herbert Gross, Willi Ulrich

Patent number: 5412681Abstract: An improved slab-waveguide CO.sub.2 laser which includes two parallel, rectangular, flat, spaced-apart, slab electrodes whose surfaces excite a laser gas and guide laser light in a plane perpendicular to the surfaces of the slab electrodes. The component of the light propagating parallel to the electrode surfaces is not guided and is acted on only by resonator mirrors which form an unstable resonator. The improved slab-waveguide CO.sub.2 laser operates on a single vibrational transition of the CO.sub.2 molecule by employing wavelength selective optics.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1994Date of Patent: May 2, 1995Assignee: Carl Zeiss, Inc.Inventors: Dietmar Eisel, Herbert Gross, Christopher L.

Patent number: 5406578Abstract: The reflecting surfaces within the resonator are minimized in an unstable laser resonator having a radially-dependent output end reflection profile and a passive Q-switch so that the least possible competing resonator geometries can be formed. For this purpose, a saturable absorber foil can be provided as a passive Q-switch element mounted so as to be inclined with respect to the optical axis. Furthermore, it is advantageous to use an output reflector having highly precise parallel boundary surfaces and to align this output reflector with high precision parallel to the end surfaces which delimit the laser medium.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1993Date of Patent: April 11, 1995Assignee: Carl-Zeiss-StiftungInventors: Herbert Gross, Harry Bauer, Theo Lasser, Martin Wiechmann
