In this proceedings and presentation, we reported our progress on radiation-balanced disk lasers with two pumping schemes: multipass and intracavity pumping.
Investigation of radiation-balanced disk lasers
In this paper, we directly compare the laser performance between DBR-free semiconductor disk lasers of single- and dual- heatspreaders configurations. A maximum output power of 16 W has been reported with SiC substrate, which has lower thermal conductivity than diamonds. With the availability of wafer scale SiC substrates, it allows wafer-scale […]
