Patent ID: 11973303

Abstract:
A laser apparatus includes at least one electro-optic (EO) medium through which a polarized laser beam passes for N times, forming a plurality of first-pass to Nth-pass beams, by reflecting the polarized laser beam from at least one reflection mirror, and a power supplier configured to alternately provide a 1/N of a half-wave (λ/2) or quarter-wave (λ/4) voltage and remove the voltage to the EO medium, λ being a wavelength of the polarized laser beam. The at least one EO medium is tilted at angle θ and/or angle ϕ with respect to one of the plurality of first-pass to Nth-pass beams. The at least one EO medium comprises a M number of EO mediums, and the power supplier is configured to alternately provide a 1/M*N of a half-wave (λ/2) or quarter-wave (λ/4) voltage and remove the voltage to each of the M number of EO mediums.
