SOLID-STATE LASER Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: laser engineering. SUBSTANCE: illuminator built up of reflector, pumping lamp, and active element if tightly fitted to angle base by means of spring rigidly fixed relative to case. Illuminator supporting members are placed on compensating shims placed on base. Material of supporting members and compensating shims is noted for high friction coefficient. Base is of angular or any other robust shaped; it is mounted in laser case. Resonator mirrors are fixed on planar parallel ends of angle base. One of mirrors is composite structure whose side surface of fixed in plane-parallel plate; spherical mirror axis is parallel to normal to plate surface. Resonator components are joined together and base is joined to laser case by means of adhesive. EFFECT: improved design. 5 cl, 2 dwg
