Abstract
A laser system comprising an RE:XAB gain medium within a resonator cavity. X is selected from Ca, Lu, Yb, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ga, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and RE is selected from Lu, Y, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Pr, Tm, Cr, Ho. The system further comprises a pumping source having optical output directed towards the gain medium. A laser controller operates the pumping source. The system further comprises a heat spreader, the heat spreader in thermal communication with the gain medium through a surface wherein the pump source has optical output incident.
