Abstract

We present a new and improved method for pumping three-level solid-state lasers. The better beam quality from tapered diode lasers makes them attractive pump sources in configurations that are inherently lossy; in particular, three-level laser systems. We present numerical calculations and experimental comparison of tapered diode laser pump performance against that of traditional broad area diode lasers (BAL).
