Systems and methods for laser processing systems and associated methods for using and manufacturing such systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a laser processing system includes a controller, a laser source, a material support, and a beam delivery subsystem operably coupled to the controller. The beam delivery subsystem comprises an optical carriage assembly configured to receive and modify a laser beam from the laser source, and direct the laser beam toward a material to be processed carried by the material support. The optical carriage assembly is further configured to focus the laser beam within a material processing field to obtain an adjustable power density within a material processing plane and achieve an optimal selected condition for the material to be processed.

Laser processing systems and associated methods of use and manufacture

Embodiments of an air-cooled gas laser with a heat transfer assembly are disclosed herein. A laser configured in accordance with one embodiment includes a laser superstructure and a laser superstructure having an opening and a cavity accessible through the opening, and an electrode assembly. The electrode assembly is configured to be received into the cavity, and includes a frame and an electrode biasedly coupled to the frame and electrically insulated therefrom.

Air-cooled gas lasers with heat transfer assembly and associated systems and methods

Embodiments of an air-cooled gas laser are disclosed herein. A laser configured in accordance with one embodiment includes a laser superstructure, an optical assembly, and an elongated thermal decoupler member having a first end portion fixedly coupled to the optical assembly and a second end portion fixedly coupled to the laser superstructure. The laser further includes an optical assembly that includes a first holder member fixedly coupled to the first end portion of the thermal decoupler, a second holder member pivotally coupled to the first holder member and fixedly coupled to the laser superstructure, and a flexible seal having a portion coupled to the laser structure and disposed at least between the first holder member and the second holder member.

Air-cooled gas lasers and associated systems and methods

Embodiments of an air-cooled gas laser with heat transfer resonator optics are disclosed herein. A laser configured in accordance with one embodiment includes resonator optics having an optical element, a first heat sink element in surface-to-surface contact with a first side surface of the optical element, a second heat sink element in surface-to-surface contact with a second side surface of the optical element, and a carrier member carrying the optical element and the first heat sink element, and including a forward facing surface in surface-to-surface contact with the backside surface of the optical element. The resonator optics further include first and second biasing elements biasedly coupled to the carrier member and configured to bias the first and second heat sink elements against the first side and second side surfaces, respectively, of the optical element.
