It enables readers to develop their skills in general solid-state laser design and solar collector design and provides numerous solved exercises at the end of each chapter to further this development. This book begins by introducing the brief history of solar-pumped laser and its potential applications. It explains the basic theories of imaging and non-imaging primary, secondary, and tertiary solar concentrators. It discusses solar-pumped solid-state laser theory and solar-to-laser power conversion efficiencies. There are chapters dedicated to ZEMAX and LASCAD numerical simulation tools, to help develop readers’ skills in innovative solid-state laser design. This book is one of the first books to relate concentrated solar energy technologies to solid-state laser technologies and is therefore of interest to students, academics, engineers, and laser and optical system designers.Green Energy and Technology,1865-3537TelecommunicationLasersElectric power distributionMicrowaves, RF Engineering and Optical CommunicationsLaserEnergy Grids and NetworksTelecommunication.Lasers.Electric power distribution.Microwaves, RF Engineering and Optical Communications.Laser.Energy Grids and Networks.621.47621.3661Liang Dawei1337676MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910720062803321Solar-Pumped Lasers3359460UNINA
