The invention relates to a fiber laser and harmonic frequency conversion
module incorporating a 90 degree Polarization Maintaining (PM) fiber
fusion splice therebetween for providing temperature insensitive power
stabilization. The present invention has found that incorporating at
least one 90 degree splice of the transmission axes of the PM fiber,
coupling a fast axis to a slow axis, to create substantially equal
optical path lengths of the two transmission axes of the fiber coupling
can nearly eliminate output amplitude fluctuation within a practical
operating temperature range.
