Edge-pumped microchip laser configurations based on Yb:YAG/YAG composite gain media are presented. 90W output power with good beam quality and low wavefront distortion were obtained. Several new designs of composite gain media, like very thin disk with undoped cap and lens-like active media are presented and analyzed.

We review recent progress in the development of nanophotonic devices using the optical near-field interaction. ZnO nanocrystallites are potentially ideal components for realizing room-temperature operation of such devices due to their high exciton-binding energy and great oscillator strength. To confirm this promising optical property of ZnO, we examined the near-field time-resolved spectroscopy of ZnO nanorod double-quantum-well structures (DQWs). First, we observed the nutation of the population between the resonantly coupled exciton states of DQWs, in which the coupling strength of the near-field interaction was found to decrease exponentially as the separation increased. Furthermore, we successfully demonstrated the AND-gate operation by controlling a dipole-forbidden optical energy transfer among resonant exciton states. Our results provide criteria for designing nanophotonic devices. The success of time-resolved near-field spectroscopy of isolated DQWs described here is a promising step toward realizing a practical nanometerscale photonic switch and related devices.

The objective of this paper is to analyze a marking laser system that uses a diode pumped Ytterbium fiber laser. Starting from the phenomena of heating due to laser irradiation and the spatial profile of deposited energy we try to develop a better marking technique, including the laser-assisted coloring.

The paper presents some design elements concerning the optical pumping cavities of the laser generators with active solid medium, as well as the way of increasing their performance. We start from the fact that the laser cavity is a closed optical system, where the active laser medium and the pumping source are conjugated, in order to achieve a maximum concentration of the light flux of the pumping source towards the active medium. We discuss the simple elliptical section laser pumping cavities (with one pumping lamp) and triple elliptical (with three lamps), also presenting a series on calculus nomograms, very useful to those who design the laser generation optical pumping cavities.

Two new families of zoom optical systems, developed for industrial and medical laser applications, are introduced. First we discuss the main physical processes involved in industrial laser applications and the requirements for the optics. The spatial beam parameters are reviewed, explaining the relatively new concepts of intrinsic stigmatism and intrinsic astigmatism. Then two new zoom systems are discussed, including experimental examples: VariSpot(R), which delivers round spots with adjustable diameters at fixed working distances, and VariFocTM, able to adjust spot shapes and sizes at different working distances. We conclude that these systems represent a valuable addition for industrial and medical lasers.

In the last decade we have applied with consistent results the integral transform technique in solving the classical heat equation for determining the thermal fields in laser-solid interaction. In the present paper we apply for the first time this powerful mathematical instrument for laser-transparent liquids interaction in order to find the thermal field of this process.
