Light Management for Enhancing Optical Gain in a Solar‐Pumped Fiber Laser Employing a Solid‐State Luminescent Solar Concentrator

Light Management for Enhancing Optical Gain in a Solar‐Pumped Fiber Laser Employing a Solid‐State Luminescent Solar Concentrator

Optical gain of 8.3 km−1 is obtained in a neodymium‐doped silica fiber under simulated sunlight (intensity = 2.1 kW m−2). The fiber gain medium (length = 50 m) is coiled and attached to a solid‐state luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) disk (diameter = 180 mm). The disk/fiber unit is placed in a ca...
