  • OPTICAL PUMPING OF A SOLID-STATE GAIN-MEDIUM USING A DIODE-LASER BAR STACK WITH INDIVIDUALLY ADDRESSABLE BARS
    Publication number: 20120033692
    Abstract: A diode-laser bar stack includes a plurality of diode-laser bars having different temperature dependent peak-emission wavelengths. The stack is arranged such that the bars can be separately powered. This allows one or more of the bars to be “on” while others are “off”. A switching arrangement is described for selectively turning bars on or off, responsive to a signal representative of the temperature of the diode-laser bar stack, for providing a desired total emission spectrum.
