Patent ID: 7839904

Claim:
A monoblock laser comprising: a substrate; a reflective mirror, disposed on the substrate, adapted to reflect light of a first wavelength; a gain block, disposed on the substrate, adapted to generate the light at the first wavelength and receive the light reflected from the reflective mirror; a Q switch, disposed on the substrate, adapted to receive and polarize the light from the gain block and provide pulsed light that is polarized and at the first wavelength; a dichroic mirror, disposed on the substrate, adapted to pass the pulsed light from the Q switch and reflect light at a second wavelength; an optical parametric oscillator crystal, disposed on the substrate, adapted to receive the pulsed light from the dichroic mirror and convert at least a portion of the pulsed light at the first wavelength into light at the second wavelength; an output coupler mirror, disposed on the substrate, adapted to reflect light at the first wavelength and pass at least a portion of the light at the second wavelength to provide a laser output signal; and a first optic block having at least a partially curved bottom surface, wherein the first optic block is disposed on the substrate at a corresponding curved surface to allow alignment of the first optic block in a pitch direction and a yaw direction along an optical axis, and wherein the reflective mirror, the Q switch, the dichroic mirror, or the output coupler mirror is disposed on a first surface of the first optic block.
