Abstract

Solar lasers based on Nd:YAG are limited by the spectral overlap between the absorption and the solar spectrum. Using a ray tracing model, a greater than two times increase in absorption can be shown when wavelength converting dyes are used in the cooling system surrounding the laser crystal. The predicted increase in absorption is experimentally verified.
