Seven-Grooved-Rod, Side-Pumping Concept for Highly Efficient TEM<sub>00</sub>-Mode Solar Laser Emission through Fresnel Lenses

Low-cost, lightweight, and easily available Fresnel lenses are a more alluring choice for solar laser power production, when compared to the costly and complex heliostat-parabolic mirror systems. Therefore, a seven-rod solar laser head was designed and numerically studied to enhance the efficiency i...
