Solid state optical laser

Claim 1

A LASER COMPRISING A CYLINDRICAL HOUSING OF A ELLIPTICAL INTERNAL CONFIGURATION, DISC-SHAPED END MEMBERS REMOVABLY SECURED TO SAID HOUSING EACH OF SAID END MEMBERS HAVING A CENTRAL THREADED APERTURE THERETHROUGH COAXIAL WITH SAID HOUSING, FIRST HUB MEMBERS OF TUBULAR CONFIGURATION THREADED INTO SAID APERTURES AND EACH HAVING A SHOULDER ABUTMENT EXTENDING INWARDLY TOWARD THE CENTER OF SAID HOUSING TO DEFINE AN ANNULAR SEAT, A RESILIENT VIBRATION DAMPING RING ON EACH OF SAID ANNULAR SEATS, A TRANSPARENT TUBE OF PREDETERMINED DIAMETER DISPOSED WITHIN SAID HOUSING IN CONCENTRIC RELATION AND ABUTTING ON SAID RINGS SO THAT STRESS FORCES AGAINST SAID TUBE WHEN SAID END MEMBERS ARE SECURED ARE RELIEVED BY PARTIAL COMPRESSION OF SAID RINGS, OTHER HUB MEMBERS OF TUBULAR CONFIGURATION REMOVABLY CONNECTED TO SAID FIRST HUB MEMBERS AND DISPOSED INWARDLY OF SAID FIRST HUB MEMBERS CONCENTRIC RELATION, EACH OF SAID OTHER HUB MEMBERS INCLUDING A ROD-RECEIVING BORE DISPOSED IN SPACED RELATIONSHIP RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER AND EXTENDING INTO SAID TUBE IN A DIRECTION ALONG THE TUBE AXIS, A SOLID CRYSTALLINE ROD CAPABLE OF THE STIMULATED EMISSION OF COHERENT LIGHT MOUNTED IN SAID ROD-RECEIVING BORES AND DISPOSED AT ONE FOCUS OF THE ELLIPTICAL CAVITY OF SAID HOUSING, REFLECTIVE END COATING ON SAID ROD TO ENHANCE REFLECTION IN SUCH MANNER THAT ONE END THEREOF IS TOTALLY REFLECTIVE AND THE OPPOSITE END AFFORDS EGRESS TO SAID COHERENT LIGHT, SAID ROD BEINGG OF DIAMETER SMALLER THAN SAID PREDETERMINED DIAMETER WHEREBY A FLUID-CONDUCTING CHAMBER OF ANNULAR CROSS SECTION WITHIN SAID TUBE AND ABOUT SAID ROD IS FORMED, MEANS COUPLED TO THE ENDS OF SAID CHAMBER FOR CIRCULATING A TRANSPARENT LIQUEFIED COOLANT OVER SAID ROD, A FLASHLAMP DISPOSED AT THE OTHER FOCUS OF THE ELLIPTICAL CAVITY OF SAID HOUSING FOR OPTICALLY PUMPING SAID ROD THROUGH SAID TUBE AND SAID COOLANT, AND GASEOUS MEANS FOR COOLING SAID FLASHLAMP HAVING INLET AND EXHAUST CONNECTIONS WITH SAID END MEMBERS.
