ABSTRACT:
A face pumped slab laser includes a housing within a resonator cavity for housing a slab of host material and a light source for pumping the slab. The slab is mounted in a holder which is readily inserted in or retracted from the housing. The holder rigidly supports the slab without inducing stresses therein. The holder includes first and second longitudinal support members with generally U-shaped cross sections for engaging the top and bottom surfaces of the slab. Each end of the slab is engaged by two cooperating support members which have surfaces for receiving the periphery of the face of the slab. Ears on the first and second support members mate with brackets on support members at either end of the slab.
