Zigzag multirod laser beam merging approach for brighttem00-mode solar laser emission from a megawatt solar furnace

An alternative multirod solar laser end-side-pumping concept, based on the megawatt solar furnace in France, is proposed to significantly improve the TEM00-mode solar laser output power level and its beam brightness through a novel zigzag beam merging technique. A solar flux homogenizer was used to...
