Developments in the IR, visible, and UV will be presented, with emphasis on new materials, components, fabrication techniques, and design alternatives that can enhance laser performance, reduce foot-print and/or increase device efficiency, lifetime, and reliability while reducing life-cycle costs. As the field matures, this conference provides a forum for the discussion of challenges and advances in materials research, applied science, and design innovations that are fundamental to the operation and applications of solid state lasers. 12, 465–468 (2018).The primary purpose of this conference is to highlight the development of new laser sources, advanced technologies, components, and laser system designs that can benefit the development, commercialization, and fielding of new laser platforms based on solid state media and associated frequency-conversion techniques.
