A CW Nd:YAG laser was designed and constructed using a
water cooled krypton arc lamp as the pump source in a single
elliptical cavity. Operational testing of the system could
not be done due to technical problems with running the arc,
but fluorescence measurements on the cavity were made using
a tungsten filament lamp. The results were compared with
those of previous projects which employed circular cylindrical
cavities. The elliptical cavity did not have the
highly reflective gold coating present on the other cavities,
and was not designed for the tungsten lamp. Despite
this, the elliptic cavity's fluorescence output was greater
than that recorded for the multi-lamp configurations at the
same input power levels.
A detailed description of the design process used and
sufficient information to implement recommendations and
improve the overall system are given.
