ABSTRACT:
A solid state laser, comprising (a) a resonator, (b) at least one laser diode array for side pumping said resonator, and (c) at least one fan-out-covering optical system, between said resonator and said at least one laser diode array, does not suffer from thermal problems and provides a high quality beam. The solid state laser may be air cooled.
