Abstract
In this article significant findings from our study indicate that incorporating nanostructured materials and employing advanced coating technologies can lead to substantial improvements in laser beam quality and component longevity. Furthermore, the adoption of innovative crystal growth methods has shown promise in achieving uniform dopant distribution, a critical factor in enhancing the optical homogeneity and performance of laser materials.
