Power Scaling of Laser Oscillators and Amplifiers Based on Nd:YVO<sub>4</sub>
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis thesis presents a strategy for power and brightness scaling in diode-end-pumped, master-oscillator-power-amplifier laser systems, based on Nd:YVO<sub>4</sub>. Issues relating to further power and brightness scaling are discussed as well as the potential applications of these laser sources as pump sources for frequency conversion in optical parametric devices.<br/>
