Micro-structured carriers for miniaturized diode-pumped solid-state lasers — •Ralf Koch1, Stefan Bjurshagen2, Sandra Johansson2, and Fredrik Laurell21Acreo AB, Electrum 236, 164 40 Kista, Sweden — 2Laser Physics and Quantum Optics, Department of Physics, Royal Institute of Technology, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden

We have previously reported on the development of a novel and versatile design concept for miniature diode-pumped solid-state lasers. A silicon microbench with wet-etched V-grooves for the precise alignment of all components in DPSSL is used to obtain efficient heat removal from the laser crystal [1]. Using this concept we have achieved miniature lasers with cw power of 6.7 W, a really amazing performance considering the lateral dimensions of the laser crystal of just about 1 mm. Recently, we have expanded this concept to new carrier materials. An interesting example is a polymer encapsulated diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser [2]. Large production volumes at a very low cost are possible. This development has been enabled by progress in commercially available polymers with high thermal conductivity. The latest results from the micro-structured carrier concept for DPSSL are reported. Passively Q-switched lasers mounted in a silicon microbench or in a polymer encapsulation are presented. The Q-switched silicon microbench laser gave an average output power of 2 W in 1.4 ns pulses.
