Abstract
A Nernst lamp is used as the pumping means for a solid state laser. The l materials are selected so that the light energy emitted is essentially concentrated in the relatively narrow pump region of the absorption spectrum of the laser crystal. The input power in to the laser is equivalent to that of much higher power lamps operating over a much wider spectrum.
