OSTI ID:7338596
The sun pumped ND:YAG laser developed on the previous program, produced a fundamental mode output of 0.8 watts. The principal objectives of the work described in this report were to increase the TEM sub 00 mode output of the sun pumped laser and to develop and deliver a demonstration model laser. Operating in a straight cavity configuration and pumped by a 24 inch diameter telescope, the demonstration laser produced a polarized TEM sub 00 mode output of 2.05 watts at 1.06 micrometers. This improved fundamental mode performance was obtained by reducing the thermal-optic distortion caused by non-uniform bonding of the laser rod to the heat sink and by increasing the solar collection and relay efficiency.
