Additively manufactured transparent ceramic thin disk gain medium

A novel type of Yb:YAG transparent ceramic thin disk laser amplifier is demonstrated, based on fabricating a composite gain element with a paraboloidal interface between gain and no-gain regions and employing side-pumping of the thin disk. The pump-induced gain and the impact of amplified spontaneous emission on the achievable inversion are reported.
