ABSTRACT:
A palm-sized laser device which comprises a laser housing having a cavity situated therein and adaptable optical delivery device in a second housing removably attached to said first housing means. The inventive apparatus is adapted to provide a solid state crystal lase material rod, a lamp within a coupling cavity and a fluid cooling chamber adapted to receive and exhaust coolant from the same end of the laser housing. The inventive combination being generally tubular and overall outside dimensions less than about 2.0 cm in diameter and about 12 to about 20 cm in length. The laser cavity of the present invention includes a coupling element having an eccentric cross-section and is adaptable to include a variety of cross-sections, reflective coatings and/or reflective materials to optimally couple the flashlamp energy to the lase material.
