Abstract
A high power multibeam laser has an improved output coupling mirror comprised of a plurality of mirror elements attached to an adjustable mirror-supporting member. The inner face of the output coupling mirror lies in a single plane which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the laser device and the outer face of the output coupling mirror has a convex curvature.
Claims5
In a high power multibeam laser system including a plurality of oscillator tubes containing laser medium therein and positioned approximately parallel to one another, an output coupling mirror, and means for applying pump energy to said laser medium for establishing a population inversion therein, said multibeam laser system characterized in that said output coupling mirror is composed of segmented mirror elements with at least the inner surfaces thereof aligned in a single flat plane and in that the outer surface of said output coupling mirror has a convex configuration.
