Ce:Nd:YAG Solar Laser with 4.5% Solar-to-Laser Conversion Efficiency

The efficiency potential of a small-size solar-pumped laser is studied here. The solar laser head was composed of a fused silica aspheric lens and a conical pump cavity, which coupled and redistributed the concentrated solar radiation from the focal zone of a parabolic mirror with an effective colle...
