In solar-pumped laser with Fresnel lens and Cr/Nd:YAG ceramic
the laser output power depend highly on coupling factor of pumping light and laser rod in the axial direction. In this paper
the method of tracking angle error attributed to the incident solar ray unparallel with surface normal of Fresnel lens result
was used to calculate the dependence of laser output power on angles experimentally. By using ceramics cavity
the effect of secondary or more reflection beam condenser on the output power was reduced. The experiment result shows that the laser output powers are reduced by 1/6 of the original ones from 0to 0.5 for refractivity of 97% and 99%
respectively. The physical model was set up to analyze the effect in different tracking angle errors
where the calculation value is in agreement with the experiment result. Results indicate that the beam and laser rod coupled in axial direction perfectly
thereby the removal of the end mask and the adoption of the second condenser will obtain highly axially coupling end pumping beam by which the laser output power is improved greatly.
