Abstract
This invention relates to solid state lasers and more particularly to laserable rods, slabs or other configurations where thermal effects and/or ground state absorption cause a degradation in lasing efficiency and/or beam quality. The improvement in operating efficiency is achieved by using a composite of lasing and non-lasing sections. The composite is formed using diffusion bonding techniques.
