| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8102593 | Quasi non-critical phase matched and contra-phase matched structures Adhesive-free bond non-linear optical (NLO) components, devices and systems including one or more engineered quasi non-critical phase matched or contra-phase matched NLO crystal doublets. Such systems and devices advantageously increase the efficiency of NLO frequen... | 01/24/2012 |
| 7803451 | Optical composites between similar and between dissimilar materials Manufacturing techniques and composite structures that are able to meet increasing demanding requirements for large-scale crystal composites (e.g., greater than 100-200 mm in dimensions) that can be manufactured within reasonable time frames. A method of making an o... | 09/28/2010 |
| 6025060 | Method and apparatus for composite gemstones A method and apparatus for creating unique gemstones is provided. The method comprises the steps of optically contacting the gemstones of interest followed by a heat treatment of the composite gemstone. The heat treatment step increases the bond strength ... | 02/15/2000 |
| 5936984 | Laser rods with undoped, flanged end-caps for end-pumped laser applications A method and apparatus for achieving improved performance in a solid state laser is provided. A flanged, at least partially undoped end-cap is attached to at least one end of a laserable medium. Preferably flanged, undoped end-caps are attached to both en... | 08/10/1999 |
| 5852622 | Solid state lasers with composite crystal or glass components A system for improving the thermal uniformity, beam quality and lasing efficiency of composite solid state lasers by reducing parasitic oscillations and confining the laserable medium to a location in the composite laser component where it is most efficie... | 12/22/1998 |
| 5846638 | Composite optical and electro-optical devices A method of forming defect-free permanent bonds without the use of adhesives as well as devices formed by this method is disclosed. In general, the disclosed process allows similar or dissimilar crystalline, vitreous or dense polycrystalline ceramic, meta... | 12/08/1998 |
