Laser medium arrangement and laser system

Abstract

A laser medium arrangement for generating or amplifying laser light by stimulated emission of photons, wherein the laser medium arrangement defines a longitudinal direction and a cross-section running transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction, and wherein the laser medium arrangement includes a plurality of structural elements each extending along the longitudinal direction and proportionally over the cross-section, wherein at least two different types of structural elements are included, namely a first type having a first refractive index and a second type having a second refractive index, wherein at least one of the structural elements includes a laser-active material. A laser system including such a laser medium arrangement is also provided.
