摘要
A nonimaging concentrator (compound parabolic concentrator) has been employed to boost the output of a solar-pumped Nd:YAG laser crystal from 2 W to 10 W. Since the nonimaging concentrator increased the solar power delivered to the laser, the reflectivity of the output coupler could be lowered from 95% to 90%. With the 90% output coupler in place, there was an additional increase in laser power, to 14 W.
