Joris van Nunen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Semiconductor-laser pumped Ti:sapphire laser
    Publication number: 20090003402
    Abstract: A laser includes a Ti:sapphire gain-element that is optically pumped by radiation from a semiconductor laser device. In one example the semiconductor laser device is an InGaN diode-laser array and the gain-element is optically pumped by radiation emitted by that array. In another example, the semiconductor laser device is an optically pumped semiconductor laser (OPS-laser) optically pumped by radiation from an InGaN diode-laser array. In a further example the semiconductor device is an intracavity frequency-doubled OPS laser.
