Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Laser Engineering

Background:

  • Conduction-cooled lasers face challenges balancing pump source and heat removal systems.
  • The lateral surface of laser rods is a critical area for both pumping and thermal management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the spatial conflict between pumping and heat removal in side-pumped laser designs.
  • To develop a more efficient and compact laser system architecture.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a segment side-pumped configuration with alternating circular laser diode arrays and heat-conducting rod holders.
  • Periodic arrangement of components along the laser rod's length.

Main Results:

  • Achieved 11 Hz operation of a 190 mJ Q-switched laser at 1064 nm.
