Modeling High-Power Solid-State Lasers
Unlike other contributors to the Super High Efficiency Diode Sources (SHEDS) program, we are not addressing the efficiency of semiconductor lasers in our laboratory at the University of Central Florida. Instead, we are mathematically modeling diode-pumped high-power solid-state lasers. Our work has two immediate goals. First, we hope to provide guidance to diode laser manufacturers regarding which characteristics are advantageous for the pumping of high-power solid-state lasers. Second, we hope...
