ABSTRACT:
A system and a method for providing more gain while minimizing the potential for parasitic oscillation and amplified spontaneous emissions in an optically pumped optical amplifier or laser system, utilizing a partitioned monolithic gain element. The monolithic gain element being partitioned into discontinuous amplifying gain regions such that parasitic modes and amplified spontaneous emissions are substantially obviated.
