Abstract
In various embodiments, a modular laser system features an enclosure having interfaces for accepting input laser beam modules, optical elements for combining beams from the modules into a combined output beam, and a heat-exchange manifold for interfacing with and cooling the modules during operation.
Claims19
A laser system for combining a plurality of input beams into a combined output beam, the laser system comprising:
- an enclosure comprising a beam output for outputting the combined output beam;
- a plurality of input beam modules, each input beam module comprising (i) a housing, (ii) a laser beam source disposed within the housing, and (iii) an optical interface for transmitting one or more beams out of the housing;
- and
- disposed on the enclosure, a plurality of input receptacles, each input receptacle configured to accept one of the input beam modules, wherein each input receptacle comprises an optical receiver for receiving one or more input beams from an input beam module,
- wherein, within the enclosure, input beams received from the optical receivers of the input receptacles are combined into the combined output beam, and the combined output beam is transmitted to the beam output.
