Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING A HIGH ENERGY PULSED BEAM OF RADIATION WHICH COMPRISES: A PLURALITY OF OPTICALLY ALIGNED LASER SECTIONS POSITIONED IN END-TO-END SPACED RELATIONSHIP ON AN OPTICAL AXIS, EACH OF SAID SECTIONS INCLUDING A LASER ELEMENT, A LIGHT SOURCE FOR EXCITING EACH OF SAID LASER ELMENTS, AN END LASER ELMENT OF SAID PLURALITY OF LASER SECTIONS INCLUDING A LASER ELEMENT ONE-HALF THE LENGTH OF THE REMAINDER OF SAID PLURALITY OF LASER ELEMENTS. AN OPTICAL SWITCH, AND A MODE SELECTOR POSITIONED BETWEEN OPPOSING ENDS OF EACH OF SAID PLURALITY OF LASER SECTIONS AND WHEREIN SAID LASER ELEMENT HAVING ONE-HALF THE LENGTH OF THE REMAINDER OF SAID LASER ELEMENTS COMPRISES AN INNER END PERPENDICULAR TO THE AXIS THROUGH SAID LASER ELEMENT AND AN OUTER END WITH A RETO-PRISM ATTACHED THERETO TO REFLECT INCIDENT LIGHT BACK THROUGH EACH OF SAID LASER SECTIONS ALONG SAID OPTICAL AXIS.
