High-power phosphate-glass laser system: design and performance characteristics
W. Seka,J. M. Soures,Owen Lewis,J. Bunkenburg,David C. Brown,S. D. Jacobs,Gerard Mourou,J. Zimmermann +7 more
TL;DR: A one-beam prototype of a large twenty-four-beam phosphate-glass laser system has been built and tested and has demonstrated focusable power in excess of 750 GW/beam at 50-psec full width at half-maximum (FWHM) pulse duration and has delivered 165 J of focusable energy in a 500-p sec pulse duration.

Parasitic oscillations, absorption, stored energy density and heat density in active-mirror and disk amplifiers
TL;DR: Detailed calculations of the absorption, stored energy density, and heat density distributions for these commercial laser glasses of current interest (silicate-ED- 2, phosphates-EV-2, LHG-5) are presented.

Diode-pumped dye laser analysis and design
TL;DR: From a number of candidate laser dyes operating in the visible to near-infrared spectrum, two dyes appear most suited for pumping by commercially available diode lasers are selected that provide critical laser parameters.
