Challenges to Making High Power Solid State Lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This is a tutorial exploring some of the key engineering issues that have been and must be addressed to construct solid state lasers in the 100 kW, CW class with good beam quality. Both slab and fiber approaches are considered. In both cases some form of beam combining is also required, and two promising beam combining approaches are considered.
