Abstract

Pump laser light is focused into a solid state laser material. A resonator is positioned around the laser material. The resonator is comprised of reflectors which have high reflectivity at both the pump light frequency and the solid state laser light frequency. The resonator is impedance matched to the pump laser. The pump light resonates inside the solid state laser material until practically all of it is absorbed.
