Abstract
A Multi-Flash Lamp laser system incorporates a solid state fluorescent converter. The multiple Flash Lamps are symmetrically positioned on opposite sides of the major dimension of the lasing material but avoid coupling of light between the lamps. The optical efficiency of the laser systems is enhanced by means of a fluorescent converter positioned between the lamps and the laser to reduce reflector losses and convert light outside of the laser pumping band to the pumping band wave lengths.
