RESONANT PUMPING OF THIN-DISK LASER WITH AN OPTICALLY PUMPED EXTERNAL-CAVITY SURFACE-EMITTING SEMICONDUCTOR LASER

摘要

Laser apparatus comprises a solid-state laser-resonator including a thin-disk solid-state gain-medium. The thin-disk gain medium is optically pumped using radiation circulating in an OPS-laser resonator. The solid-state laser-resonator can be a passively mode-locked or actively Q-switched laser-resonator.
