Abstract:We report on an efficient semiconductor laser array pumped by a high-energy electron gun. A peak power of 350 kW in a 4-ns pulse has been measured from a 25-mm2 CdS laser. For the materials studied (CdS, ZnxCd1−xS, and ZnSxSe1−x), laser action has been obtained in the blue-green region of the spectrum.
“…Reflecting coatings that formed an optical resonator were deposited on the film planes: a metal coating from the side of the EB and a multilayer dielectric coating on the opposite side. The semiconductor target was manufactured according to the technology corresponding to the conditions for high-efficiency lasing [14,15]. The diameter of the electron spot on the ST was 0.75 mm.…”
