An assembly (10) that generates a laser beam (12) includes a voltage source (14), a gain medium (24A), a closed loop current regulator (22), and a controller (18). The gain medium (24A) generates the laser beam (12) when medium current flows through the gain medium (24A). The current regulator (22) regulates the medium current that flows through gain medium (24A) from the voltage source (14) independent of a voltage of the voltage source (14). The controller (18) directs a command input (20) to the current regulator (22) that is used to control the current regulator (22). |
