Solid state laser array

Abstract

A solid-state laser arrangement, including a plate-like solid body with a laser-active medium, in which the plate-like solid body includes an upper side, a lower side and a circumferential peripheral face, and / or in which a heat sink thermally coupled to the lower side of the plate-like solid body, in which the plate-like solid body includes a scatter region on the upper side and / or on the peripheral face, and the peripheral face of the plate-like solid body includes a portion inclined relative to the upper side and the lower side.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solid-state laser device comprising a plate-shaped solid with a laser active medium and comprising a heat sink, the solid having an upper side, a lower side and a surrounding peripheral surface, the plate-shaped solid being connected to the heat sink via the lower side thermal coupling (and mechanical coupling). Background technique [0002] Plate-shaped solids (hereinafter also referred to as laser disks) are optically excited by means of a pump light source in order to generate population inversion in the laser-activated solid material. A solid-state laser device should generate as much output power as possible when pumping a solid. Furthermore, the output power is limited by the maximum pump power of the pump light source or by the fact that the number of cycles of the pump radiation is limited by the laser-activated medium. [0003] Another factor influencing the maximum possible amplification of plate-shaped solids is ...

Problems solved by technology

However, the problem with installing such an absorber is that the absorber may have to absorb high radiant power and heat up there, so that the absorber may have to be provided with its own heat sink, which can likewise lead to problems
