ABSTRACT:
The pump region (9a-d) in the active medium (1a-d) excited by the pumping source (3a-b) is modeled of a thin layer shape or line shape for the side-pumping, and of a line shape for the end-pumping. The prism beam expander (2) as a mode-expanding device is used to expand TEM.sub.00 mode in one dimension resulting in a highly mode-matched fashion when the mode-expanding is required.
