High-power diode-pumped solid-state 2 micron lasers

Brightness scaling of diode-bar end-pumped solid-state lasers producing efficient output radiation in the 2 μm wavelength region is investigated. Problems and strategies for power scaling diode-bar end-pumped lasers in the 2μm region are also discussed. Thermal lens measure ments on Tm3+:YAG and Tm3...
