“…6 (the optimal value of the parameter Ny 0 , at which the maximum of out P las /P 0p has the highest value). In Figs 7c and 7d the parameter Ny 0 is respectively twice less and twice higher than its optimal value at all other parameters that are the same as for curve ( 5 ) in Fig. 6.…”

“…8], and therefore the conversion efficiency of pump radiation into laser radiation out P las /P 0p decreases. If the parameter Ny 0 is larger than its optimal value, the pump is excessively absorbed [curve ( 5 ) in Fig. 8] such that lasing does not occurs in the entire volume of the cell [curve ( 6 ) in Fig.…”

We have studied theoretically the operation of a transversely diode-pumped alkali metal vapour laser. For the case of high-intensity laser radiation, we have obtained an analytical solution to a complex system of differential equations describing the laser. This solution allows one to exhaustively determine all the energy characteristics of the laser and to find optimal parameters of the working medium and pump radiation (temperature, buffer gas pressure, and intensity and width of the pump spectrum).

This paper reviews the different challenges that are encountered in the delivery of high power lasers as drivers for fusion energy. We will focus on diode-pumped solid-state lasers and we will highlight some of the main recent achievements when using ytterbium, cryogenic cooling and ceramic gain media. Apart from some existing fusion facilities and some military applications of diode-pumped solid-state lasers, we will show that diode-pumped solid-state lasers are scalable to inertial fusion energy (IFE)'s facility level and that the all-fiber laser scheme is very promising.

“…Past the peak, the I 7s signal stabilized to a single exponential dependence. Values for f Γ 5 were taken from our other experiment [26]. Please note, that to both of these measured ("effective") decay rates i Γ , besides the spontaneous-emission rate (inverse of state's natural lifetime), two other components additively contributed.…”

“…Characteristics of atomic collisions are also crucial in some branches of technology in order to asses either a positive or negative impact of collision initiated processes. For example, in the field of laser construction projects, the operation principles of the collision lasers operating on atomic transitions, are directly founded on ET collisions [4], while the development of the high-power diode-pumped alkali vapour lasers [5] may suffer from an ET process, which is energy pooling (EP) [6,7].…”
