ABSTRACT:
A laser rod is provided having a tailored gain profile such that the quality of the output beam is enhanced. The laser rod has a concentration of active substitutional ions that is relatively high at the center of the rod and decreases to the surface of the rod. The laser rod further has a concentration of pre-active laser ions that is relatively high at the surface of the rod and decreases to the center of the rod. Methods are disclosed for creating a layer of inactive laser species in the near surface region of a laser rod using substitutional dopant ions and for creating a laser rod with a tailored gain profile such that the quality of the output beam is enhanced.
