A harmonic system for use with metals and alloys such as titanium, steel,
copper, gold, aluminum, etc. is disclosed. The harmonic laser system
includes an oscillator cavity having a first end mirror and a harmonic
separator mirror, an active medium positioned in the oscillator cavity,
an electro-optic pump device for optically pumping the active medium to
produce a first optical beam at a fundamental wavelength and a non-linear
optical crystal positioned in the oscillator cavity to generate a second
optical beam at a harmonic wavelength of the first optical beam, wherein
the harmonic separator mirror outputs the second optical beam and
reflects the first optical beam.
