Abstract
Moderate power lasers (few tens of watts) with relatively good beam quality (M2 = 5−10) found many potential industrial applications. Side- pumped geometries with high-power diode-laser bars as pump source have been widely adopted for this kind of lasers. However it is difficult to design a pumping chamber with both high coupling efficiency and good pump power deposition, especially for small diameter rods.
