英文摘要 | A technique for operating a diode pumped solid state laser in acontinuous-wave (cw) mode using diodes blocks (12) that are individually operated in apulsed mode. For some high power laser applications, it is desirable to provide foroperation in pulsed and cw modes, but pump diodes are typically designed for efficientoperation in only one of these modes. The invention includes a controller (20) that pulsesthe individual diode blocks (12) on and off, but not necessarily in unison. For a pulsedmode of operation, the diodes (12) in an array are pulsed either at the same time, orsub-arrays are pulsed in a temporally interleaved manner for a higher effective pulserepetition rate. For the cw mode of operation, the diodes (12) are pulsed sequentially insub-arrays (A-E), such that at least one sub-array is always energized and the completearray appears to be providing continuous pumping energy. In one embodiment, thesub-arrays (A-E) are columns of the array. In another embodiment, the sub-arrays (12') areeach associated with a different solid-state gain medium (10'), the gain media beingoptically coupled in a single laser. |
