Mount for a laser Brewster angle window

摘要

A laser utilizing a unique assembly for mounting a Brewster angle window. The mounting assembly includes an elongated annular member having a transverse slot at the appropriate Brewster angle to the plane perpendicular to the axis of the annular member. A rectangular window is held in place in the slot by the tension of a leaf spring. The mounting assembly may then be inserted in place at either the anode or cathode ends of the laser and permanently held in place without introducing any stresses in the window or affecting its alignment.
