Diode-pumped solid-state ring laser gyroscope

Solid-state laser system for color picture projection

The present invention provides a laser diode-pumped solid-state laser resonator which can be scaled and pumped longitudinally including in a folded or zig-zag resonator cavity. The resonator employs opposed laser rod crystals paired with pump light diodes in a configuration which ensures good spatial overlap and can permit the simultaneous generation of one or more laser wavelengths. The resonator also has at one end thereof a total reflector, eg. a laser rod crystal or a mirror and at the other end thereof, a partial reflector i.e. a mirror, to resonate and amplify the laser beam in the system and outcouple a portion thereof as desired.

Solid-state laser system

The invention relates to a method for producing a microsystem and from it forming a microsystem laser, which preferably has a vertical structural element by contacting of wafer plates, which carry different functional elements of a system, so that this system on the one hand thus includes heterogeneous functions such as actuators, optics, sensors, cooling systems, micromechanics and electronics, and on the other hand, the wafer carrying these functions permits a relatively homogeneous processing of quite similar functions integrated each on one wafer, so that the complexity of the system is created for the first time for the vertical arrangement of these functions.

Method for producing a microsystem and forming a microsystem laser

The invention provides a laser system with one or several micro-mechnically produced, actively controlled laser mirrors which are provided with an actuation device, so that the rapid manipulation of small laser mirrors is assured. The mirrors are designed so that they permit an economical production in large numbers.
