Experimental cross evaluation of large size ceramic and crystalline Yb3+:YAG laser gain media performance at high average power

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Ceramic gain media are interesting candidates for large size gain media in high power diode pumped solid state lasers. We compare their performance to their crystalline counterparts used in the Lucia main amplifier. Small signal gain, wave front deformation and depolarization are of main interest.
