DOUBLE-MODE TUNABLE CARBON DIOXIDE LASER Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC H01S3/13 

FIELD: laser engineering; lasers and spectrometers built around them.

SUBSTANCE: proposed laser has cavity with active medium, output mirror, and diffraction grating. The latter is disposed in alignment unit. This alignment unit is attached to butt-end of hollow cylinder which is joined through elastically strained member with cylindrical bushing. External surface of hollow cylinder mounts movable lever and supporting flange, both being rigidly fixed together. Supporting flange is locked in position within cylindrical flange by means of spherical supports. One end of movable lever is kinematically coupled with electromagnet and its other end, with butt-end surface of cylindrical flange. Cylindrical bushing and cylindrical flange are secured on carrying flange of laser case.

EFFECT: enhanced reproducibility and precision of selecting steady radiation power wavelength, enhanced operating reliability under all mechanical and environmental impacts.
