High power modelocking using a nonlinear mirror

This thesis presents work on the high average power operation of pulsed diode-pumped solid-state lasers by using a laser configuration known as the bounce geometry. The bounce geometry has previously produced efficient, high power and high spatial quality laser outputs in continuous-wave, Q-switched...
