Abstract

Power, special and temporal characteristics of high–performance advanced LD–pumped solid–state laser systems emitting in the spectral ranges of 1064, 1535 and 1570 (fundamental modes) as well as 266, 355 and 532 nm (fourth, third and second harmonics) are discussed. The ways for further improvement of those laser systems are proposed. In addition, the problem of optimization of the pump unit based on the powerful laser diode arrays (LDAs) is analyzed. The effect of the LDA internal optical loss on the amplified spontaneous emission flux value developed within the LDA active layer is considered in detail.
