Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) possesses thermal and mechanical properties that vary significantly with temperature. We show that when temperature variations are accounted for …
This paper demonstrates a laser diode double-ended pumped Yb: YAG rod regenerative amplifier (RA) with an average power of 37 W, which substantially exceeds the …
Polycrystalline yttrium–aluminum garnet (YAG) fibers are attractive for high-power lasers and for high-temperature structural materials. Processing methods for <30 μm diameter …
