WALK-OFF COMPENSATOR WITH TILT FUNCTION |
摘要 |
Techniques and structure are disclosed for implementing a spatial walk-off compensation mechanism having an integral tilt function. In some embodiments, the mechanism may comprise a tilt-ball mount having an integrated walk-off compensation medium. In some embodiments, the mechanism may be configured to receive an output beam from a non-linear converter (e.g., optical parametric oscillator or OPO) implementing a non-linear medium comprising a bi-refringent material (e.g., zinc germanium phosphide, or ZnGeP2; cadmium silicon phosphide, or CdSiP2). In some embodiments, the walk-off compensation medium may comprise the same material and/or have the same cut as the non-linear medium. In some embodiments, the mechanism may be manually and/or mechanically adjusted/repositioned to reduce beam walk-off and/or to more precisely direct the beam. In some embodiments, the mechanism may be implemented in mid-infrared (MIR) applications. Numerous configurations and variations will be apparent in light of this disclosure. |

1. A system comprising:
a non-linear converter configured to receive a pump beam and generate an output beam; and a walk-off compensation mechanism having an integral tilt function, wherein the walk-off compensation mechanism is configured to be tilted and/or rolled to achieve at least one of walk-off compensation and/or precision directing for the output beam. |
