Few-layer MoS 2 saturable absorbers for short-pulse laser technology: current status and future perspectives [Invited] (2015, background): “The inclusions of few-layer MoS2-based SAs in other laser platforms, such as thin-disk and vertical external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) is also expected, offering greater versatility, and power scalability [125].”
Optically pumped VECSELs: review of technology and progress (2017, background): “The architecture of the laser resonator in VECSELs was borrowed from thin-disk solid-state lasers [14] and is typically formed between a thin semiconductor gain mirror and an external-cavity mirror; hence the alternative name of semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs).”
SESAMs for High-Power Oscillators: Design Guidelines and Damage Thresholds (2012, methodology): “The excellent power scalability of the thin-disk laser technology should allow kilowatt single-mode oscillators [13] suitable for SESAM modelocking.”
