High power solid state lasers; Proceedings of the Meeting, Hamburg, Federal Republic of Germany, Sept. 19, 20, 1988

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7256830
Recent advances in high-power solid-state lasers and their applications are discussed in reviews and reports. Sections are devoted to slabs and high-power systems; glasses and new crystals; and lamps, resonators, and transmission. Particular attention is given to a 100-W moving-slab glass laser, the lasing properties of flashlamp-pumped GGG crystals, a 17-J Ho laser operating at 2 microns, the emission characteristics of high-power Kr/Xe flashlamps, computation of an optimal laser cavity using splines, a high-repetition-rate large-aperture Nd:YAG disk laser for multi-kW average power, and realization of a high-power green laser by frequency doubling with a KTP crystal.
