Abstract

Optically pumped semiconductor material is a complimentary gain medium for rare earth or transition metal doped crystals. The design of several compositions based on GaAs allows the realization of a wavelength range between 710nm and 1180nm. This can be diode pumped and frequency doubled to cover the near UV up to the yellow spectral range. The power is scaleable and we have realized several Watts at 488nm and 460nm. Experimental results will be presented and discussed as well as reliability data to show that this technology has ripened for industrial applications.
