This paper describes a solid state laser concept that scales to MW levels of burst power and MJ of burst energy and burst durations measured in seconds. During lasing action, waste heat is purposely stored in the heat capacity of the active medium. The paper outlines the principal scaling laws of key operational features and arrives at a conceptual design example of the laser head as well as a mobile laser system.

Laser Gain

The optimization of solid-state laser cavities requires a deep understanding of the gain module, the most critical laser component. This study proposes a procedure for evaluating the performance of the solid-state laser gain module. The thermal effect and energy storage characteristics are the performance criteria. A normalized heating parameter was calculated as a quantitative indicator of the performance criteria. We proposed a method to quantify the heat dissipated into the gain medium using the wavefront distortion, thermal deformation theory of the gain medium, and the ray transfer matrix method. The suggested procedure was verified by evaluating the flashlamp type Nd:YAG rod gain module, but it can also even be extended to other solid-state laser gain modules by applying the appropriate thermal deformation theory.
