TY - JOUR A1 - Vorholt, Christian A1 - Wittrock, Ulrich T1 - Single-frequency oscillation of thin-disk lasers due to phase-matched pumping JF - Opt. Expr. N2 - We present a novel pump concept that should lead to single-frequency operation of thin-disk lasers without the need for etalons or other spectral filters. The single-frequency operation is due to matching the standing wave pattern of partially coherent pump light to the standing wave pattern of the laser light inside the disk. The output power and the optical efficiency of our novel pump concept are compared with conventional pumping. The feasibility of our pump concept was shown in previous experiments.
