Abstract
Over the last few decades the cost reductions and performance increase of diode laser technology has advanced to the point that it has now become a very attractive and generic means of driving laser systems. Diode pumped technology has found widespread uptake in the industrial sector - multi kW CW powers are routine and a wide variety of low energy pulsed systems have been reported – many are commercially available. However the development of pulsed diode pumped systems capable of operating at mutli kW and higher average power levels with very high pulse energy (100’sJ – kJ’s) has been very limited.
