Abstract
An optically pumped laser which includes a laser diode array for generating optically pumped radiation having a uniform intensity distributed over a broad band-width, and a lasant material with an absorption band for receiving radiation within such bandwidth.
Claims27
An optically pumped laser comprising
- (a) a laser diode array for generating optical pumping radiation, said pumping radiation having a bandwidth which is about 3 nm to about 15 nm wide and wherein the intensity of said pumping radiation is substantially uniformly distributed over said bandwidth, and
- (b) a lasant material with an absorption band for receiving radiation within said bandwidth of said laser diode array.
