Abstract: The operation of radiation-balanced lasers (RBLs) is analyzed for practical considerations of cavity losses, optimum out-coupling, and radial distribution of pump and laser modes. We derive expressions for laser efficiency under arbitrary heat loads, discuss… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/prj.380615
Abstract: Recent advances in power scaling of fiber lasers are hindered by the thermal issues, which deteriorate the beam quality. Anti-Stokes fluorescence cooling has been suggested as a viable method to balance the heat generated by… read more here.
