Abstract

UN TRANSMISOR LASERICO SEGURO PARA LOS OJOS (10; 64) QUE TIENE UNA SOLA CAVIDAD RESONANTE (16; 40) TANTO PARA EL LASER DE BOMBEO (12, 14, 16, 22; 42, 40, 58, 46) COMO PARA EL OSCILADOR OPTICO PARAMETRICO (28; 58). UNA VARILLA ND:YAG (22; 58) PROPORCIONA UNA GANANCIA PARA LA LUZ A UNA PRIMERA LONGITUD DE ONDA. LA LUZ ES CONMUTADO DE Q (24; 48; 56) PARA AUMENTAR LA INTENSIDAD. EL OSCILADOR OPTICO PARAMETRICO (28; 52) TRANSFORMA ENTONCES LA LUZ A LA PRIMERA LONGITUD DE ONDA EN UNA LUZ A UNA SEGUNDA LONGITUD DE ONDA, DONDE LA LUZ A LA SEGUNDA LONGITUD DE ONDA NO DAÑARA LOS OJOS.
