Abstract: A mount for an optical element such as in a laser, optical amplifier, or other optical system, is disclosed. The mount is a mounting vane for cooling the optical element by a fluid stream. The optical element may be a gain medium generating heat. The mounting vane comprises: an input section with a leading edge for meeting the fluid stream; a diffuser section which tapers to a trailing edge; and a plane section with an aperture for receiving the optical element for cooling by the fluid stream, the plane section arranged between the input section and diffuser section, wherein the diffuser section includes one or more flow guiding fins protruding from the diffuser section. The mounting vane may be stacked with a plurality of other mounting vanes in a manifold.

Abstract: A mounting vane 100 for an optical element 125 of a laser or , optical amplifier for example, a Pockells cell, Faraday isolator or frequency conversion stage. The vane cools the optical element by a fluid stream. The optical element may be a heat generating element. The mounting vane comprises an input section 105 with a leading edge 110 for meeting the fluid stream; a diffuser section 130 which tapers to a trailing edge; and a plane section with an aperture tor receiving the optical element for cooling by the fluid stream, the plane section arranged between the input section and diffuser section. The diffuser section 130 includes one or more flow guiding fins protruding from the diffuser section. The mounting vane may be stacked with a plurality of other mounting vanes in a manifold.
