Abstract
A laser beam shaping system includes at least one doped medium which is doped with a dopant and which is optically transparent at the first wavelength range and a beam input or coupling configured to generate or receive a shaped beam that is required to be shaped, the shaped beam being at a first wavelength range and directed towards the doped medium. The system includes an absorbed beam input or coupling configured to generate or receive at least one absorbed beam at a second wavelength range which is different from the first wavelength range and which is directed towards the doped medium. The doped medium has a higher beam absorption characteristic at the second wavelength range than at the first wavelength range, causing the absorbed beam to have a higher absorption than the shaped beam in the doped medium. The doped medium has a coating which allows high transmission of both the first and the second wavelength ranges.
