Thermal management in quasi-waveguide amplifiers based on Herriott cells
Helmut Schmidt University, Holstenhofweg 85, 22043 Hamburg, Germany
Published online: 18 October 2024
We present a new geometry for laser amplifiers with bulk laser gain media based on the quasi-waveguide property of Herriott cells. A proof-of-principle experiment and numerical simulations of the heat equation indicate a potential advantage in terms of thermal management.
