Title: Delivering pump light to a laser gain element while maintaining access to the laser beam

Abstract

A lens duct is used for pump delivery and the laser beam is accessed through an additional component called the intermediate beam extractor which can be implemented as part of the gain element, part of the lens duct or a separate component entirely.
