Planar Waveguides, a Power Scaling Architecture for Low-gain Quasi-four-level Lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Limited by pump brightness and high thermal-loading density, low-gain lasers suffering reabsorption losses have an ally in planar waveguides for efficient power scaling. Current performance and future prospects are presented for this laser architecture.
