40 W Continuous Wave Ce:Nd:YAG Solar Laser through a Fused Silica Light Guide

The solar laser power scaling potential of a side-pumped Ce:Nd:YAG solar laser through a rectangular fused silica light guide was investigated by using a 2 m diameter parabolic concentrator. The laser head was formed by the light guide and a V-shaped pump cavity to efficiently couple and redistribut...
