Abstract
Provided is a solar-pumped fiber laser device that includes: a first layer of a light guiding material or a fluorescent material having a circular or an elliptical planar contour with an even thickness; and an optical fiber wound around a peripheral thickness edge of the first layer, wherein the optical fiber is irradiated with light formed of solar light having entered a flat surface of the planar contour of the first layer, the solar light being scattered by the light guiding material, or with fluorescence generated by applying the solar light having entered the flat surface of the planar contour of the first layer to the fluorescent material.
Claims8
A solar-pumped fiber laser device comprising:
- a first layer of a light guiding material or a fluorescent material, the first layer having a circular or an elliptical planar contour with an even thickness;
- and
- an optical fiber wound around a peripheral thickness edge of the first layer,
- wherein
- the optical fiber wound around the peripheral thickness edge is irradiated with light formed of solar light having entered a flat surface of the planar contour of the first layer, the solar light being scattered by the light guiding material, or with fluorescence generated by applying the solar light having entered the flat surface of the planar contour of the first layer to the fluorescent material.
