Disk-type Nd/Cr:YAG ceramic lasers pumped by arc-metal-halide-lamp

Abstract We observed the lasing of highly sensitized Nd/Cr:YAG ceramic disks that use artificial solar radiation pumping. The disk material can be used for high power multi-stage amplifiers pumped by lamplight or sunlight because of its scalability and ability to handle high power densities. A maximum output power of 86 mW was experimentally obtained, and this value correlated well with the calculated results. A small signal gain of 1.9 was obtained, and the estimated stored energy was 0.6 J/cm 3 , which is three or four times higher than that from a Nd:YAG medium.
