  • Method and apparatus for laser beam management
    Patent number: 5631767
    Abstract: A method and associated structures are disclosed for locating a laser beam that has a wavelength outside of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The method comprises positioning a sample of a polycrystalline nonlinear frequency converting compound generally linearly downstream from a laser source, and then detecting the emission from the polycrystalline frequency converting compound to thereby identify the position of the original laser beam. In preferred embodiments, the polycrystalline nonlinear frequency converting compound comprises KTP.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 1996
    Date of Patent: May 20, 1997
    Assignee: Litton Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Timothy J. Dodge, Thomas E. Iradi, Divya C. Patel
