Incoherent and coherent coupling for multi-slab solid laser - art. no. 60281X

Optic field intensities of double and triple parallel slabs solid laser are numerically calculated. The results show that high beam qualities are difficult to obtain no matter coherent or incoherent output. In order to obtain high beam quality for multi-slab solid laser, we designed a new solid laser construction of radial slabs array according to the present condition for solid and RF excited radial array CO2 gas laser. The numerical calculated results show that this kind of laser can output high beam quality laser both coherent and incoherent cases. It is prospective to be a new research direction for high power, high beam quality, compact and scale solid laser.
