Abstract

Disclosure is a high power laser system involves the active locking of a high power primary slave laser oscillator to a low power master laser to produce a high power output at least 1 W. The slave laser oscillator contains a laser cavity with rare earth doped fiber. The laser system further consists of second cavity with first, second, third, and/or fifth harmonic generators.
