Multi-Watt Average Power Nanosecond Microchip Laser and Power Scalability Estimates
We demonstrated up to 2 W average power, CW-pumped, passively- Q-switched, 1.5 ns monolithic MCL with single-longitudinal mode-operation. We discuss laser design issues to bring the average power to 5-1 OW and beyond.
