  • Integrated laser cavity with transverse flow cooling
    Publication number: 20050147140
    Abstract: A laser cavity includes two half shells adapted to be held together forming a sealed, integrated laser structure. The laser cavity is adapted for retaining an excitation source and a lasing medium. At least one coolant passage formed in at least one of the half shells causes liquid to flow transversely over the excitation source and lasing medium. At least one coolant passage formed in at least one of the half shells removes liquid from the laser cavity after the liquid is caused to flow transversely over the excitation source and lasing medium. An inlet formed in at least one of the two half shells can transport liquid into the laser cavity and through the coolant passages. An outlet formed in at least one of the two half shells can remove coolant from the laser cavity after the liquid is caused to flow transversely over the excitation source and lasing medium.
