Abstract

ABSTRACTDiode laser pumped solid-state lasers such as rod, disk or slab lasers are on the way to govern as new systems developed in the last years the applications of laser radiation for various applications in innovative technologies. The laser radiation is used either as a tool for materials processing or as a source for radiation generation beside of applications in life science, environment, medicine, analytics, and others. The state-of-the-art of diode laser pumped solid state lasers is described highlighting beam quality, efficiency, mean time between failure, and compactness in order to discuss new laser radiation governed processes aimed for rapid manufacturing by rapid prototyping via selective laser melting, surface cleaning, surface polishing, and generation of EUV radiation.
