Abstract

The prime objective of this work is the design and test of an optimized flashlamp pumped free-running Nd-YAG slab laser for harmonic frequency generation and therefore running in a well controlled fundamental mode. Explicitely, this means:

  • lowest possible wave front deformations

  • no or very low pump dependent thermal lensing

  • high pump efficiency (lamp to slab light transfer efficiency) in conjunction with most homogeneous pump light distribution

  • highest possible fundamental mode volume inside the active material, compatible with sufficient stability of the resonator and the maximum pump induced thermal lensing.
