Abstract

In connection with an elaboration of selective pumping techniques for solid-state laser-drivers a stored energy formation in solid state media under absorption of a narrow-band pumping radiation has been considered. The calculations demonstrate the possibility of the inversion profile smoothing in the slab-like Nd- and Yb-doped active elements pumped from excited levels of activator's or sensitizer's ions. A possibility of the Nd:glass and iodine lasers usage to carry out modelling experiments on selective pumping at several kJ energy level is discussed.
