In various embodiments, optical repositioners and/or angled dispersive elements are utilized to manipulate portions of an input laser beam emitted by a group of laser emitters in order to form a multi-wavelength output beam having a high beam quality factor.

Wavelength beam combining laser systems with high beam quality factor

In various embodiments, laser delivery systems feature variable polarizers and beam shapers for altering the polarization and/or shape of the output beam for processing of various materials. The polarization and/or shape of the beam may be varied based on one or more characteristics of the workpiece.

Polarization-adjusted and shape-adjusted beam operation for materials processing

A system and method for tuning and infrared source laser in the Mid-IR wavelength range. The system and method comprising, at least, a plurality of individually tunable emitters, each emitter emitting a beam having a unique wavelength, a grating, a mirror positioned after the grating to receive at least one refracted order of light of at least one beam and to redirect the beam back towards the grating, and a micro-electro-mechanical systems device containing a plurality of adjustable micro-mirrors.

Widely tunable infrared source system and method

A system and method for combining multiple emitters into a multi-wavelength output beam having a certain band and combining a plurality of these bands into a single output using non-free space combining modules.

High brightness, monolithic, multispectral semiconductor laser

Systems and techniques for optimizing the operation of a beam emitter during material processing maintain an optimal polarization of the beam with respect to the material throughout processing&#x2014;e.g., even as the beam path varies or the nature or thickness of the material changes.

Polarization-adjusted beam operation for materials processing

In various embodiments, wavelength beam combining systems feature multiple beam emitters each emitting an individual beam, as well as multiple micro-optics arrangements each disposed optically downstream from a beam emitter to intercept the beam emitted thereby and direct the beam toward a dispersive element for combination into a multi-wavelength output beam.

Wavelength beam combining laser systems with micro-optics

In various embodiments, a beam-parameter adjustment system and focusing system alters a spatial power distribution of a plurality of radiation beams before the beams are coupled into an optical fiber.

Methods of producing radiation beams with altered properties

In various embodiments, laser apparatuses include thermal bonding layers between various components and creep-mitigation systems for preventing or retarding movement of thermal bonding material out of the thermal bonding layers.

Solder-creep management in high-power laser devices

In various embodiments, passivation layers are deposited on internal surfaces of cooling channels defined within heat sinks for electronic devices such as laser beam emitters, the passivation layers retarding or substantially preventing erosion and/or corrosion of the heat sinks.
