Developments in high-power diode-pumped solid-state lasers
Developments in high-power diode-pumped solid-state lasers
The inexorable rise in power capability of diode-pumped solid-state lasers is being driven by an extraordinary range of approaches. Faced with the common challenge of launching copious amounts of pump power into the laser medium, and also removing the copious amount of heat generated, design solutions as different as the thin disc geometry and the optical fibre geometry find themselves in strong competition.
This talk will survey the range of approaches, many of which are represented in further talks in this conference. The talk will emphasise the important influence that increased pump brightness can exercise on the design geometry, and the important ability, through higher laser power, of exploiting nonlinear optical effects.

Abstract
The inexorable rise in power capability of diode-pumped solid-state lasers is being driven by an extraordinary range of approaches. Faced with the common challenge of launching copious amounts of pump power into the laser medium, and also removing the copious amount of heat generated, design solutions as different as the thin disc geometry and the optical fibre geometry find themselves in strong competition.
This talk will survey the range of approaches, many of which are represented in further talks in this conference. The talk will emphasise the important influence that increased pump brightness can exercise on the design geometry, and the important ability, through higher laser power, of exploiting nonlinear optical effects.
