Abstract
A desktop medical laser generator (10) for laser surgery has a base plate (12) and an optical assembly (14) mounted thereon. The optical assembly (14) has an improved lamp housing (16) having two identical shell sections (44) and associated components for housing a YAG rod (60) and a lamp (58). Light emitted from the lamp housing (16) is doubled in frequency by a KTP crystal (26), monitored by two power detectors (32,34) and emitted through an output connector (36). A line power control system (90) insures the current drawn from a standard wall receptacle (80) does not exceed accepted limits. An output power detection system (90) closely monitors output power.
