Design of Concentrating System for Solar Side-pumped Slab Laser

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The design of a concentration system for a solar side-pumped slab laser was investigated. The side size of the s lab laser medium is 2 mm× 20 mm. B ased on the principle of the e dge ray, a secondary concentrating system consisting of a rectangular parabolic mirror (RPM) and a rectangular dielectric-filled compound parabolic concentrator (RDCPC) was demonstrated. The focal length of RPM is 1200 mm and the size is 734 mm × 2000 mm. The outlet size of the RDCPC is 2 mm × 20 mm. The concentration effect was analyzed by using Tracepro optical software. The results showed that the concentration efficiency reached 81.3% and the uniformity of the spot was 91.4% after optimization. This design of concentration system is of great reference value for a solar side-pumped slab laser.
