Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this article an edge-facet and multi aperture pumped thin gain laser with highly efficient and simple pump optics is reported. The crystal configuration is a symmetrical hexagonal Composite Yb:YAG/YAG with slanted sides. Three diodes are placed outside the hexagonal shape disk, and the emitting light is coupled via three lens ducts through its three slanted edges and propagates through the disk along the zigzag path and repeatedly passes the gain medium, thus pump uniformity and absorption efficiency are improved. A comprehensive numerical model is utilized in the laser designing process. 192 W output power with good beam quality was achieved from this laser configuration.
