Hello :)
I have 2 questions about the beam propagation of an Ti:sapphire-laser:
Picture 1: The cw argon ion laser brings the beam to mirror (1). Then...? Then the beam (100% of it), go to the birefringent plate (4), gets then reflectet to the first mirror again (1) , which reflects it to the Ti:sapphire, then to mirror (2) , which brings the beam to the last mirror, that which is responsible for the outcoppling.?
But that's propably not right, because the birefringent plate is responsible for wavelength tuning. Because the resulting Laserbeam doesn`t "meet" this plate.
Picture 2: Ti:sapphire: femtosecond-laser. Here the same: what happens at mirror (2)? or is the birefringent plate useful for wavelength tuning of the pumping-laser, and not the resulting Laserbeam? And on this picture I miss the outcoppling beam...
Thank you for your help :)
