Abstract
A high energy laser is imbedded into a highly laminar high pressure stream by pumping fluid (preferably water) into a conduit, controlling the flow of fluid by a valve in the conduit, introducing the fluid into an outlet orifice assembly with a fluid chamber and a diffuser within the fluid chamber to dampen major currents of fluid velocity. A laser beam is aligned and directed through the outlet orifice. The fluid exiting the orifice creates a laminar fluid stream about the laser. The outlet orifice can have a knife edged orifice.
