Optical Disc Mounts for Lasers Laser systems require a reliable method of mounting discs or slabs of optical elements in an aerodynamically shaped vane that will be positioned within a high-velocity gas coolant flow. This STFC invention describes an alternative method for mounting an optical disc in a shaped vane for use in cryogenic gas-cooled laser systems.IMAGES Published: 6/20/2024   |   Inventor(s): Tristan Davenne, Michael Fitton, Klaus Ertel, Paul Mason Keywords(s): 05.f.
