Abstract
ABSORCION SATURABLE, POLARIZACION Y RETROREFLEXION ESTAN INTEGRADOS DENTRO DE UN ELEMENTO OPTICO (10) EN ESTADO SOLIDO. EL ELEMENTO OPTICO (10) SE COMPONE DE UN SUSTRATO (14) NO DOPADO QUE TIENE SUPERFICIES FRONTAL Y TRASERA DISPUESTAS CON UN ANGULO PREDETERMINADO. UNA CAPA DIELECTRICA (15) SE DISPONE SOBRE LA SUPERFICIE TRASERA DEL SUSTRATO (14), Y AL MENOS UN PLAQUETA ABSORBENTE SATURABLE SE DISPONE EN LA SUPERFICIE FRONTAL DEL SUSTRATO (14). LAS ESPECIES ABSORBENTES SATURABLES USADAS EN EL/LOS PLAQUETA(S) (11) SON DEFECTOS QUE ABSORBEN LA LUZ VISIBLE DE F2 EN UNO O VARIOS MATERIALES OPTICOS HUESPEDES ADECUADOS. LA POLARIZACION LINEAL DEL HAZ DE LASER (13A) SE CONSIGUE MEDIANTE LA ORIENTACION DE LA CARA DE ENTRADA DEL ELEMENTO OPTICO (10) AL ANGULO DE BREWSTER. LA CAPA DIELECTRICA (15) (ESPEJO) SOBRE LA SUPERFICIE TRASERA DEL ELEMENTO OPTICO (10) PROPORCIONA 100% DE REFLECTIVIDAD. EL ELEMENTO OPTICO (10) ES UN MONOLITICO, SIMPLE DE FABRICAR, FACIL DE ALINEAR ELEMENTO MULTIFUNCIONAL PARA USARSE EN UN RESONADOR DE LASER (12). EL ELEMENTO OPTICO (10) PROPORCIONA CONEXION-Q PASIVA, DISCRIMINACION PARA LA POLARIZACION LINEAL, Y REFLEXION DEL HAZ DE LASER. EL ESPEJO ES UNA PARTE INTEGRAL DEL ELEMENTO OPTICO (10), Y ES SENCILLO PARA ALINEAR EL POLARIZADOR INTEGRADO. MEDIANTE LA ALINEACION DEL ELEMENTO OPTICO (10) POR RETROREFLEXION; SE ENCUENTRA AUTOMATICAMENTE LA CONDICION DE ANGULO DE BREWSTER Y SE CONSIGUE LA DISCRIMINACION DE LA POLARIZACION OPTIMA. EL ELEMENTO OPTICO (10) MEJORA LA CALIDAD Y LA EFECIENCIA DE LOS LASERES EN LOS CUALES SE EMPLEA. LA PRESENTE INVENCION ES SENCILLA PARA ALINEAR Y REDUCIR EL NUMERO DE ELEMENTOS OPTICOS EN EL LASER, MEJORANDO DE ESE MODO LA FIABILIDAD DEL SISTEMA.
