DISK LASER INCLUDING AN AMPLIFIED SPONTANEOUS EMISSION (ASE) SUPPRESSION FEATURE

摘要

A laser system may include a first portion of laser host material adapted for amplification of laser radiation and a second portion of laser host material surrounding the first portion which may be adapted for suppression of ASE. The first portion of laser host material and the second portion of laser host material may be respectively doped at a different predetermined concentration of laser ions. A heat exchanger may be provided to dissipate heat from the first portion and the second portion.
