Abstract
The present invention relates to a solid dye resonator, and to a solid dye laser hand piece comprising same. The solid dye resonator comprises: solid dye; a high-reflection mirror; an output coupler; a first mounting plate on which the high-reflection mirror is mounted; a second mounting plate which is spaced apart from the first mounting plate and which has a surface on which the output coupler is mounted; a driving motor mounted on the first mounting plate, such that a motor shaft is directed toward the second mounting plate; and a rotary shaft interposed between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, and connected to the motor shaft of the driving motor such that the rotary shaft interlockingly rotates with the rotation of the driving motor.
Claims10
A solid dye resonator including a solid dye of a laser gain medium, a high-reflection mirror, and an output coupler, the solid dye resonator comprising:
- a first mounting plate configured to have a first mounting groove for mounting the high-reflection mirror;
- a second mounting plate spaced apart from the first mounting plate and configured to have a second mounting groove for mounting the output coupler at a position corresponding to the first mounting groove;
- a rotary shaft provided between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate;
- and
- rotation driving means configured to rotatably drive the rotary shaft,
- wherein the rotary shaft penetrates a center of the solid dye so that pumping light reflected from the high-reflection mirror and the output coupler passes through an inside of the solid dye, and thus the solid dye is rotated while operating in conjunction with the rotary shaft, so that a position where the pumping light incident on the solid dye through the high-reflection mirror is irradiated is varied.
A solid dye handpiece laser comprising:
- a solid dye resonator including a solid dye of a laser gain medium, a high-reflection mirror, and an output coupler, the solid dye resonator comprising:
- a first mounting plate configured to have a first mounting groove for mounting the high-reflection mirror;
- a second mounting plate spaced apart from the first mounting plate and configured to have a second mounting groove for mounting the output coupler at a position corresponding to the first mounting groove;
- a rotary shaft provided between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate;
- and
- rotation driving means configured to rotatably drive the rotary shaft,
- wherein the rotary shaft penetrates a center of the solid dye so that pumping light reflected from the high-reflection mirror and the output coupler passes through an inside of the solid dye, and thus the solid dye is rotated while operating in conjunction with the rotary shaft, so that a position where the pumping light incident on the solid dye through the high-reflection mirror is irradiated is varied;
- and
- a hand piece body configured to have the solid dye resonator seated therein and grasped by an operator.
