The laser system consists the 25 hexagonal segments and a parabolic mirror as the primary concentrator. As the second concentrator, a tailored non-imaging collector is used to concentrate the solar radiations at the Nd: YAG rod. The achieved power from the solar-powered laser is 57 W.
The solar-driven laser system is one of the most acceptable technologies to harness solar power. Solar-powered laser converts the broadband solar radiation directly into the monochromatic, collimated, and coherent laser beam.
A solar-pumped laser (or solar-powered laser) is a laser that shares the same optical properties as conventional lasers such as emitting a beam consisting of coherent electromagnetic radiation which can reach high power, but which uses solar radiation for pumping the lasing medium.
The obtained output of the solar laser is more than 60 W from the efficient conversion of solar energy, and the slope efficiency exceeds 2%. In every solar-powered laser, the first challenge is creating a conversion of solar radiations into a laser beam with optimal collection efficiency.
Construction, Types, and Applications LASER stands for L ight A mplification by S timulated E mission of Radiation. A LASER is a source of light which produces a very narrow beam of light that is useful in many technologies and instruments. The construction of a typical red LASER is shown in the figure.
From the 356 W of incoming solar power, the laser system produced 16.5 W of CW multimode solar laser power, corresponding to a 4.64 % solar-to-laser conversion efficiency, 41.25 W/m 2 collection efficiency, and 7.64 % slope efficiency [ 63 ].
