Almeida are all acknowledgedA solar-pumped laser with bulk active medium generally requires a considerable amount of concentrated solar power for initiating laser emission. In previous work, 54.9 W threshold incoming solar power was found for a Ce:Nd:YAG solar laser by a 0.075 m2 effective area parabolic mirror. In the present work, a 0.0615 m2 area Fresnel lens was used to concentrate incoming solar power to a 2 mm diameter, 30 mm length Ce:Nd:YAG rod. 1.81 W continuous-wave 1064 nm solar laser output power was measured, corresponding to 3.15% solar-to-laser conversion efficiency, 4.4% laser slope efficiency, and 29.4 W/m2 collection efficiency. More importantly, threshold incoming solar power as low as 16.5 W was achieved, representing a 3.33 times reduction in threshold solar power, as compared to previous record by the parabolic mirror. By using a 0.0855 m2 area Fresnel lens, 2.83 W solar laser power was also measured, leading to 3.56% solar-to-laser conversion efficiency, 4.9% laser slope efficiency, and 33.1 W/m2 collection efficiency. Low threshold incoming solar power of 22.7W was also obtained, representing a 2.42 times reduction in threshold solar power in relation to the previous record. Notably, 1.41 W TEM00 mode solar laser power was also measured by adopting an asymmetric laser resonant cavity, resulting in 2.06% solar-to-TEM00 mode laser conversion efficiency, which, to the best of our knowledge, is 2.61 times larger than the previous record by Nd:YAG medium.DF – Departamento de FísicaCeFITec – Centro de Física e Investigação TecnológicaRUNLiang, DaweiAlmeida, JoanaCatela, MiguelCosta, HugoGarcia, DárioTibúrcio, Bruno D.Guillot, EmmanuelVistas, Cláudia R.2024-04-30T01:48:23Z2024-06-152024-06-15T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/166756eng0927-0248PURE: 86680441https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solmat.2024.112817info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-08-05T01:33:48Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/166756Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:51:42.118904Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
