Zigzag Multirod Laser Beam Merging Approach for Brighter TEM<sub>00</sub>-Mode Solar Laser Emission from a Megawatt Solar Furnace

Zigzag Multirod Laser Beam Merging Approach for Brighter TEM<sub>00</sub>-Mode Solar Laser Emission from a Megawatt Solar Furnace

An alternative multirod solar laser end-side-pumping concept, based on the megawatt solar furnace in France, is proposed to significantly improve the TEM<sub>00</sub>-mode solar laser output power level and its beam brightness through a novel zigzag beam merging technique. A solar flux h...
