Optisch gepumpter Festkoerperlaser mit einem Lasermedium

DE 19938555 A UPAB: 20010801 NOVELTY - Laser medium (1) is enclosed by a pumping radiation reflector (7) having an opening (8) for entry of the pumping radiation, with at least one optical element (11) between the pumping source, e.g. a diode laser (9) and the laser medium, positioned in the path of the radiation within the pumping radiation reflector. The optical element alters the intensity distribution of part of the pumping radiation supplied directly to the laser medium. USE - None given. ADVANTAGE - Optical pumping of the laser medium can be optimized for providing a high laser efficiency
