| 摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to a novel diode pump (23) and a method of manufacturing the same. An optical laser pulse beam expander (28), through which a laser beam is guided forward, is integrated as a part of the diode pump (23) according to the invention. The light bars (25, 27) of the diode pump (23) are preferably made from a material that is harder than silicon and that resists large amounts of power, such as from diamond, sapphire, ruby or titanium sapphire. Using a diode pump according to the invention it is possible to guide a laser beam forward without power-restricting optical transmission fibers or optical high-power connectors. The invention enables the manufacture of very high-power diode pumps and the use thereof as a part of a laser apparatus.</p> |
