Diode Bar Pumping of Single Mode Solid State Lasers

Modern diode laser bars with theirs compact design, energy scaling, by increasing the number of emitters, easy adjustment of the wavelength by temperature, have become basic elements for high-power solid-state laser pumping. A single diode bar is a monolithic linear array which can emit near infrared laser radiation from tens up to few hundreds of watts of power in CW or QCW mode, respectively. Ho...
