WATER AND ORGANIC MOLECULE ABSORBER, LASER DEVICE, OPTICAL AMPLIFIER PUMPING DEVICE, AND ABSORBER PRODUCTION PROCESS (ALTERNATIVES) Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: absorbing materials for binding water and/or organic molecules encountered as impurities in high- power lasers. SUBSTANCE: absorber has in its composition zeolites whose pore or channel size is suited to bind water molecules and/or size corresponding to that of organic molecules which is up to 40 microns. Binder imparts sufficient strength to absorber to make it suitable for use inside laser designed for operation in telecommunication devices. Binder makes it also possible to produce absorber that does not practically emit dust particles so that laser interior is easily kept clean. EFFECT: improved absorbing property of absorber. 13 cl, 2 dwg
