Resumo

The multipass slab (MPS) solid-state laser design is a diode-laser, side-pumped configuration that combines high efficiency with high beam quality. Because of a relatively low volumetric thermal loading, the MPS configuration can be used with a wide variety of laser crystals to operate at relatively high powers, and in this paper, we review the MPS lasers based on the materials Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO, Tm:YLF, Er:YLF, Yb:S-FAP, and Cr:LiSAF.
