โœฆ Synopsis

An edge-pumping scheme for a quasi-three-level solid-state laser using asymmetric crystal is reported. The scheme uses a thin disk laser configuration with the pump light incident from disk edges. The pump light propagates through the disk along the zigzag path and repeatedly passes the gain medium, thus improving the pump uniformity and absorption efficiency. A maximum output power of over 123 W was achieved from an edge-pumped composite Yb:YAG/YAG thin disk laser, with slope efficiency of 34.8% and beam quality__M__^2^โ‰ˆ 20.
