Abstract

Since the invention of the thin-disk laser 16 years ago [1], high output power and high optical efficiency made this type of solid-state lasers a common tool for industrial applications like cutting and welding. Nowadays, thin-disk lasers for material processing with an output power up to 16 kW are commercially available. The highest published output power of an Yb:YAG single-disk laser is 5.3 kW in multi-mode operation [2].
