High Brightness Ce:Nd:YAG Solar Laser Pumping Approach with 22.9 W/m<sup>2</sup> TEM<sub>00</sub>-Mode Collection Efficiency

A compact side-pumped solar laser design using a Ce:Nd:YAG laser medium is here proposed to improve the TEM<sub>00</sub>-mode solar laser output performance, more specifically the beam brightness. The solar laser performance of the Ce:Nd:YAG laser head was numerically studied by both ZEM...
