综述了产生可见光和紫外光的半导体圆盘激光器(SDL)的最新进展。在介绍了可能的应用之后，我们讨论了如何成功地利用垂直发射半导体砷化镓结构和腔内非线性转换技术的组合来唯一地满足可见光和紫外光范围内连续波辐射的要求。为此，概述了器件的工作原理和性能，重点介绍了基本的材料考虑因素、半导体结构设计、热管理技术和合适的腔体配置。本摘要最后介绍了该领域的新发展，并特别侧重于小型化的趋势。
Recent developments in semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs) generating visible or ultraviolet light are reviewed. After an introduction on potential applications, we discuss how the combination of vertical‐emitting semiconductor GaAs‐based structures and intra‐cavity nonlinear conversion techniques can be successfully exploited to uniquely meet demands for continuous‐wave radiation in the visible and ultraviolet spectral range. To do so, an overview of the device operating principles and performance is presented highlighting the underlying material considerations, semiconductor structural designs, thermal management techniques and suitable cavity configurations. This summary is completed by a presentation of new developments in the field, with a particular focus on the trends towards miniaturization.
