  • Single emitter stacking for wavelength-beam-combining laser systems
    Patent number: 12327974
    Abstract: In various embodiments, multiple laser emitters are arranged in one or more linear stacks and emit beams to one or more linear stacks of interleaving mirrors. The interleaving mirrors direct the beams to a shared exit point, thereby forming an output beam stack. The optical distances traversed by each beam from its emitter to the shared exit point are all equal to each other.

  • Packages for high-power laser devices
    Patent number: 12068574
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a laser emitter such as a diode bar is cooled during operation via jets of cooling fluid formed by ports in a cooler on which the laser emitter is positioned. The jets strike an impingement surface of the cooler that is thermally coupled to the laser emitter but prevents direct contact between the cooling fluid and the laser emitter itself.
