• Needs good thermo-mechanical properties crystal
• Need large sizes glass
• Ceramics combine best of both
• Can be made with optical quality
• 1 kJ per beam would require ~ 15 x 15 cm aperture slabs
• Feasible - 11 cm available now - scaleable
• Variable doping
• Co-sintered cladding possible
• Non-cubic demonstrated

• Doping of each slab is different
• Slabs in centre more highly doped
• Pseudo-constant longitudinal pumping and
gain
• Excellent Transverse ASE control
• Optimised Thermal Management1 - 40 cm

• Other key issues need to
improve also, e.g.
• Reliability (x10)
- Brightness (x2)
- Spectral Purity (x5)
- System Efficiency
