Abstract
A multiple path light source has a first and second laser source that generate low power continuous wave laser beam at wavelength λ1 and λ2 respectively. A pump laser source generates a high power pulsed narrow linewidth laser beam at wavelength λ0. A first pair of DFGs convert the low power continuous laser beams at λ1 and λ2 to high peak power pulsed laser beams at wavelengths λ1 and λ2, and generate pulsed laser beams at wavelength λ1=λ1*λ0/(λ1−λ0) and λ2=λ2*λ0/(λ2−λ0). A second pair of DFGs receives the high peak power pulsed laser beams at λ1 and λ2 and the pulsed laser beams at λ1and λ2and generates laser beams at wavelength λ3=λ1*λ2/(λ2−λ1) and λ3=λ1*λ2/(λ2−λ1). A beam splitter combines the high power pulsed laser beam at wavelength λ3 with the high power pulsed laser beam at wavelength λ3to form a single laser light.
