AU2018900970A0 - Our approach was to use a Co-Planar Folded zig-zag Slab (CPFS) architecture to provide a sufficiently long path length in the gain medium to compensate for the low inherent gain.The CPFS geometry was first demonstrated using Nd:YAG in the mid 1990's, but was never previously attempted with Er:YAG.In this thesis,I describe the design and construction of Q-switched Er:YAG lasers for this purpose, followed by a more powerful cavity-dumped Er:YAG laser.Both lasers were resonantly pumped using 1.47 m laser diode bars.To the best of our knowledge these are the first CPFS Er:YAG lasers demonstrated.
