Abstract: Disclosed are laser modules for laser systems and methods thereof that expand options for clinicians when using lasers in medical procedures such as holmium lasers in urological procedures. A laser module includes independently drivable laser-producing assemblies, laser optics, and a driver for driving the laser-producing assemblies. Each laser-producing assembly includes an optical resonator having a gain medium set among resonator optics for directing light through the gain medium for amplification of the light by stimulated emission. The laser optics combines two or more input laser beams produced by the laser-producing assemblies into a combined laser beam having a pulse energy, a pulse width, or a pulse repetition frequency resulting from a combination of the two-or-more input laser beams. The laser optics also directs at least a portion of the combined laser beam through an outlet of the laser module as an output laser beam.
