Title: Howard A. Bender and His Laser Invention.
Introduction
Howard A. Bender is an inventor associated with Fishkill, New York, and International Business Machines Corporation. His patent work describes a laser design intended to increase the pulse repetition rate of a continuous-wave laser.
Latest Patents
Bender is credited with 1 patent: “Method and Apparatus for an Increased Pulse Repetition Rate for a CW.” The invention spins a solid-state lasing rod along its long axis while photons pump the rod. Because the rod is wider than the aperture and positioned off-center, different portions of the rod pass through the aperture and contribute to lasing. As one portion lases, another portion is charged, enabling a higher repetition rate. The patent also describes a hollow rod that can be pumped from outside the bore, inside it, or both, and that can circulate cooling fluid.
Career Highlights
Bender’s listed affiliation is International Business Machines Corporation. His patent reflects work on laser operation, energy pumping, and thermal management.
Collaborations
Bender’s listed coworkers include Christopher D. Setzer and David Clifford Long.
Conclusion
Howard A. Bender’s patent presents a rotating laser-rod approach designed to increase pulse repetition rates while allowing flexible pumping and cooling configurations.
