    Area of Science:

    • Laser Physics
    • Optical Engineering

    Background:

    • Calculating overlap efficiency is crucial for optimizing end-pumped solid-state laser systems.
    • Existing methods often rely on linearized approximations near the lasing threshold, which can be inaccurate.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a new numerical approach for computing overlap efficiency in end-pumped solid-state laser systems.
    • To address the limitations of linearized approximations in existing methods.

    Main Methods:

    • The inverse of the overlap integral is computed numerically above the lasing threshold for various circulating field values.
    • A linear curve is fitted to the computed data to determine the overlap efficiency.
    • The influence of the beam quality factor is incorporated into the calculation.

    Main Results:

    • The novel method provides a more accurate calculation of overlap efficiency in the above-threshold regime.
    • Demonstrated that linearized approximations can lead to significant errors (up to 50%) in overlap efficiency.
    • The method was successfully applied to estimate overlap efficiency in different types of axially pumped lasers.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed numerical method offers a more precise and reliable way to determine overlap efficiency for end-pumped solid-state lasers.
    • This approach enhances the design and optimization of laser systems by providing accurate efficiency calculations.
    • The findings highlight the potential inaccuracies of threshold-based approximations and the benefits of above-threshold numerical analysis.
