| Multiple-Prism Beam Compressors |
|---|
Multiple-prism beam compressors designed either in additive or compensating dispersive configuration. Input parameters include: laser wavelength, input aperture, beam compression factor, transmission efficiency, required physical length of the multiple-prism array. Option 1: design only. Option 2: design plus US made multiple-prism array. Representative multiple-prism beam compressor specifications are available in PDF form.
Note: the principles of the multiple-prism beam compressors mentioned here are described in F. J. Duarte, Tunable Laser Optics (Elsevier-Academic, New York, 2003) (see Chapters 4 and 6). These particular multiple-prism compressors are depicted in Fig. 6.15 which includes various architectures in additive and compensating configurations. Geometrical beam compression is achieved via the reverse, or return, beam pass (see F. J. Duarte, Multiple-prism dispersion equations for positive and negative refraction, Appl. Phys. B 82, 35-38 (2006)).
