Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems, devices and methods for the transmission and delivery of high power laser energy deep into the earth and for the suppression of associated nonlinear phenomena. Systems, devices and methods for the laser drilling of a borehole in the earth. These systems can deliver high power laser energy down a deep borehole, while maintaining the high power to advance such boreholes deep into the earth and at highly efficient advancement rates.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A high power laser drilling system for advancing a borehole comprising: a. a source of high power laser energy, the laser source capable of providing a laser beam having at least 5 kW of power; b. a tubing assembly, the tubing assembly having at least 1000 feet of tubing, having a distal end and a proximal; c. a source of fluid for use in advancing a borehole; d. the proximal end of the tubing being in fluid communication with the source of fluid, whereby…
