Long pulse laser starts to have a prominent role in many applications. So, How to design and calculate the parameters of
the high power long-pulse solid-state laser is illustrated, experimentally and arithmetically. How to design a pumping
chamber is illustrated, with a double-ellipse cavity. Optical resonator losses are got experimentally in details. Efficiency
factor and system slope efficiency are calculated experimentally. Illustration for how to get the optimum mirror
reflectivity is mentioned. Beam waist and beam divergence also studied experimentally. The designed system has 10J
output energy with pulse width 20msec for efficiency factor 1.1% and a combined loss 0.181 inside resonator. Average
system efficiency, gain coefficient and fluorescence power for four different output mirror reflectivity are 0.328%,
0.00994cm-1 and 144.92W respectively. 6KW/cm2 power density inside resonator is obtained which corresponds to
585W maximum output power. An optimum mirror reflectivity 57% is for 208.2KW input power. The beam waist and
beam divergence are recorded to be 0.66cm and 8.86mrad. Calculations show that, 11.7J output energy can be obtained
by more optimization based on the designed system.
