Abstract:
A method of protecting a laser against damage caused by undesired incident light in a resonator includes measuring a parameter, which is a measure for the optical power of the incident light. In more concrete terms, the optical power occurring at a resonator mirror is measured. In response to a result of the measurement, a pumping power for the laser is reduced to reduce the optical power in the resonator to a value that is uncritical for the laser.
