OSTI ID:7004548
This patent describes a mode matched diode pumped solid state laser. It comprises: a block of laser material having a pair of opposed sides, adjustable cavity forming means positioned around the block to define a laser cavity having a tightly folded zig-zag resonator portion within the block between the opposed sides having vertices at an adjustable preselected fold angle, a plurality of laser diode pumping sources positioned adjacent to at least one of the opposed sides and substantially aligned with the vertices of the zig-zag portion of the resonator the fold angle being steep, and selected to substantially match the mode volume in the cavity with diverging pump radiation from the laser diode pumping sources.
