Fluid Edge Cladding For Spectroscopic Absorption Of Laser Emissions And Amplified Spontaneous Emission

摘要

In one embodiment a laser amplifier includes a light pump source that can generate light at a first wavelength or range of wavelengths. The laser amplifier further includes an optically pumped laser amplifier having a gain medium that amplifies light at a second wavelength or range of wavelengths in response to receiving generated light from the light pump source. A housing is used to at least partially surround the gain medium and hold a coolant fluid able to absorb the second wavelength or range of wavelengths.
