Title: Innovations of Fritz P. Schafer
Introduction
Fritz P. Schafer is a prominent inventor based in Göttingen, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of laser technology and optical devices. With a total of 12 patents, his work has advanced the understanding and application of mode-locked lasers and interferometric apparatus.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a mode-locked laser that comprises an active medium for the emission of fundamental frequency radiation. This laser features a resonator defined by two mirrors, with a nonlinear optical means arranged between the active medium and the second mirror. This configuration allows for a preferred reflection of higher intensity radiation, effectively converting fundamental-frequency radiation into two different frequencies. The design also facilitates synchronization with coupled-in laser radiation, enhancing its functionality. Another notable patent is an optical interferometric apparatus with an electrically controllable intensity transmission factor. This device utilizes a beam splitter to produce coherent partial beams, which can be combined to create an output beam with a constant phase across its width. The intensity of this output beam can be varied significantly by changing the optical path length.
