Abstract

Zig-zag optical path slab geometry1 solid state lasers have lower focusing and birefringence than equivalent rod geometry lasers. By using the slab geometry, solid state systems can be scaled to higher repetition rates without sacrificing beam quality. At MSNW, we are investigating both Nd:YAG and Nd:Glass slab lasers, to understand their scaling and develop more efficient, high pulse rate solid state lasers.
