Progress towards high power, high brightness microchip lasers : multi-watt operation using diamond heatspreaders
The microchip laser – a sub-millimetre thick slice of laser gain material onto which cavity mirrors are directly coated – offers a robust, compact laser design; however, this design both inhibits heat removal and is sensitive to thermally induced distortions. This limits power scaling and degrades b...
