A Simple Approach for Enhancing the Output Performance of Solar-Pumped Solid-State Lasers

Table 3

Enhancements in the absorbed pump powers, the laser output powers, and the standard tracking errors achieved by the truncated cavity. Comparisons are made with the 3D-CPC-2D-CPC cavity. The positive values in bold signify the enhancement in the powers in percentage. The negative values in italic represent the reduction in standard 2 mrad tracking errors in percentage.
