Abstract: A monitoring device may receive sensor information, associated with an optical device included in a high-power fiber laser, from a set of sensors associated with the optical device. The monitoring device may determine, based on the sensor information, a set of operational properties of the optical device. The set of operational properties may include: a health property that describes a health of one or more components of the optical device, a degradation property that describes degradation of one or more components of the optical device, an environmental property that describes an environment of the optical device, or a process property associated with a process in which the optical device is being used. The monitoring device may identify whether an operational property, of the set of operational properties, satisfies a condition, and may selectively perform a monitoring action based on whether the operational property satisfies the condition.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for converting laser energy, characterized by employing an optical parametric oscillator for converting light of a green laser wavelength into light of a blue or red laser wavelength via a phase matching structure, by means of a non-linear optical crystal having a one-dimensional quasi-phase matching structure with a single grating period under appropriately-controlled temperature conditions. The non-linear optical crystal with the single grating period facilitates optical parametric oscillation and second harmonic generation to thereby enable green-to-blue wavelength conversion with a slope efficiency greater than 20%. Under 400 mW green light pump laser action, a periodically poled LiTaO3 crystal with a crystal length of 15 mm and without a resistant reflective plating film on its end face is capable of outputting a blue light laser beam of 56 mW.
