Abstract
A cryogenic cooling apparatus for high average power laser oscillator or amplifier, wherein the oscillator or amplifier material is in direct contact with a flowing cryogenic liquid cooled to below its boiling point is described. This method of cooling overcomes the limit in heat flux due to the onset of film boiling, thereby allowing for increased laser average power.
