Description
本出願は、2014年9月19日に出願された、共通に割り当てられた(commonly assigned)非仮出願である米国特許出願第14/491、909の優先権の利益を主張するものであり、当該出願の内容全体が参照により本明細書に組み込まれる。
本明細書では、次の用語は以下のような意味で使用される。
本開示の態様の文脈を説明するために、図1は、波長変換レーザーシステムの例10を図示する。具体的には、システム10は、一般に、シード源12、一つ以上の光増幅器14、16、及び波長変換器100を含む。シード源12はシード放射11を発生させ、シード放射11が光増幅器14、16により増幅されることにより増幅出力が生成され、この増幅出力が波長変換器への入力放射101となる。波長変換器100は、増幅出力の少なくとも一部の波長変換を行うことにより、波長変換された出力111を生成する。入力101の一部101’も波長変換器100から出てきてよい。
図4A及び図4Bは、本開示の態様に係る結晶マウント装置200を図示する。当該装置は、一般に、長手方向に延在する第1壁部204及び第2壁部206を有して長手方向に延在するベースピース202を含み、第1壁部204及び第2壁部206は、互いに対して角度をなして角部201を形成し、単一の弾性付勢ばねクリップ301とともに光学結晶205をベースピースに固定する。本開示のいくつかの態様によると、結晶205は、ベースピース202とばねクリップ301とを組み合わせることにより保持されるワークピースとみなすことができる。本開示の別の態様によると、結晶205がベースピース202及びばねクリップ301により保持される組合せは、図1のシステム100のようなより大きな装置のサブアセンブリとみなすことができる。
