| 英文摘要 | A solid state laser in which a slab of lasing material is held within an optical resonator is disclosed. The length of the slab in parallel to the optical axis of the resonator is between 5 and 1,000 mm, the width and thickness of the slab are 1-50 mm and 0.01-2 mm, respectively. The slab is designed in a way that causes the pump light to be confined when side- or end pumped by diode lasers. This is accomplished by either polishing the two largest area faces (referred to as upper and lower sides) of the slab and coating them with a material (dielectric or metallic) that is highly reflective at the emission wavelength, or by sandwiching the slab between dielectric materials that comprise a lower refractive index compared to the index of the slab. In alternative embodiments, the thin dimension of the slab may be selected so as to either guide the signal light or to allow free space propagation. In either case, resonator designs are described that provide high brightness beams in two dimensions, regardless of the slab aspect ratio. The side faces of the slab may be polished and AR coated at the solid state laser emission wavelength. Pumping light from an emission line of semiconductor lasers is allowed to enter the slab through at least one of the slab's side faces. By choosing the slab dimensions and the doping concentration of the slab material correctly, efficient absorption of the pump light is achieved. The slab is thermally controlled by cooling its upper and/or lower side. Cooling methods may include direct water cooling or conduction cooling through a metal structure that is in contact with the upper or lower slab side. |
