Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although semiconductor-diode lasers are the most compact, highest gain and most efficient laser sources, difficulties remain in developing structures that will produce high-quality, diffraction-limited output beams. Indeed, only a few designs have emerged with the potential for producing high-power, high-brightness monolithic sources. This book presents and analyzes the results of work performed over the past two decades in the development of such diode-laser arrays.

Book excerpt: In this work SDL investigated the operation of 2-D high power micro- laser arrays based on novel monolithic surface-emitting laser diode arrays coupled to Yb:YAG and Er:YSGG micro-laser crystals. The experimental demonstrations include: (1) 200 mW, q-cw single Yb:YAG microlaser; (2) 930 mW cw linear, 12-element Er:YSGG micro-laser; (3) 130 Watt q-cw 2-D surface-emitting laser diode array at 970 nm; and (4) 600 mW, q-cw from an 18-element 3-D Er:YSGG microlaser array. The experiments performed at SDL under this contract demonstrate the suitability of monolithic 2-D laser diode arrays for pumping solids state lasers. In addition, the experiments show the flexibility of the micro-laser concept. Using different pump wavelengths in combination with different micro-lasers a wide output wavelength range from 1 micron to 3 micron is demonstrated. Finally, the micro-laser array is shown to be scalable by exploiting one- and two-dimensional laser diode pump arrays.

Book excerpt: A monolithic, electrically-insulating substrate that contains a series of notched grooves is fabricated. The substrate is then metalized so that only the top surface and one wall adjacent to the notch are metalized. Within the grooves is located a laser bar, an electrically-conductive ribbon or contact bar and an elastomer which secures/registers the laser bar and ribbon (or contact bar) firmly along the wall of the groove that is adjacent to the notch. The invention includes several embodiments for providing electrical contact to the corresponding top surface of the adjacent wall. In one embodiment, after the bar is located in the proper position, the electrically conductive ribbon is bent so that it makes electrical contact with the adjoining metalized top side of the heatsink.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of shaping the irradiance profile of laser beams goes back more than three decades, and the applications of beam shaping are as diverse as they are numerous. However, until Dickey and Holswade's groundbreaking and highly popular Laser Beam Shaping: Theory and Techniques was published, there was no single, detailed treatment available on the underlying theory and basic techniques of beam shaping. Building on the foundations of this previous work, these esteemed editors have teamed with recognized expert David L. Shealy to produce the first in-depth account of beam shaping applications and design. Laser Beam Shaping Applications details the important features of beam shaping and exposes the subtleties of the theory and techniques that are best demonstrated through proven applications. In chapters contributed by prominent, active leaders in their respective specialties, the book discusses applications in lithography, laser printing, optical data storage, stable isotope separation, adaptive mirrors, and spatially dispersive lasers. The contributors share major insights, knowledge, and experience, reveal the advantages of the technologies, and include extensive references to the literature. The book concludes with a summary of beam shaping theory and techniques as well as the history of the field. Providing practical expertise, Laser Beam Shaping Applications is an extremely helpful guide to improving current laser processes, optimizing application-specific technologies, and advancing future development in the field.
