During the past few years, much effort has been put into developing solid-state slab lasers. Due to a limitation of the cross area of slab laser, the output power was restricted. Using the technology of the Nd:Yglass disk laser which is often used in laser fusion systems, a 40-mm clear aperture Nd:YAG disk laser has been built in our laboratory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
