A laser system 1 comprises six solid state diode laser modules 37.1 to 37.6 whose output beams are directly coupled into beam steering devices 38.1 to 38.6 and thereby routed to laser combining dichroic mirrors 39.1 to 39.6, which combine the individual laser beams into a single, co-aligned beam. The combined laser beam is directed into an optical fibre 41.1 for delivery to a target optical instrument such as a microscope. The output beam from delivery optical fibre 41.1 is coupled to the target instrument via fibre output collimating optics 42.1. The output of each of the diode lasers 37.1 to 37.6 is controlled by direct modulation of the lasers' control (drive) currents.
A laser source system for providing a laser output beam for delivery to a target, the system comprising:
A laser source, comprising:
A method of operating a laser source, comprising:
A method of operating a diode laser, comprising:
One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied on said processor readable storage devices, said processor readable code for programming said one or more processors to perform a method of operating a laser source that comprises one or more diode lasers whose output laser beam or beams are coupled into one or more optical fibres, and in which the beam or beams output by the optical fibre or fibres are provided for delivery to a target, the method comprising:
One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied on said processor readable storage devices, said processor readable code for programming said one or more processors to perform a method of operating a diode laser whose output beam is coupled into an optical fibre or fibres, the method comprising:
