Introduction
Laura D DeLoach is a prominent inventor based in Manteca, CA (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of solid-state laser technology. With a total of 3 patents, her work has advanced the understanding and application of laser materials.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents involves Ytterbium-doped borate fluoride laser crystals and lasers. This new class of solid-state laser crystals is formed from Yb-doped borate fluoride host crystals. The general formula for these host crystals is MM'(BO.sub.3)F, where M and M' represent various metal cations. A specific embodiment of this invention is Yb-doped BaCaBO.sub.3 F (Yb:BCBF). These crystals are capable of nonlinear frequency conversion, allowing them to serve as both self-frequency doubling crystals and laser materials within the laser resonator.
Another notable patent focuses on transition-metal doped sulfide, selenide, and telluride laser crystals. These materials are formed from host crystals that have four-fold coordinated substitutional sites. The host crystals include II-VI compounds and are doped with transition metal laser ions such as chromium, cobalt, or iron. For instance, Cr.sup.2+ -doped ZnS and ZnSe generate laser action near 2.3 μm. These laser materials exhibit important characteristics such as low excited state absorption losses and high luminescence efficiency.
