Solar-pumped laser technology harnesses sunlight to generate laser beams, offering a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional laser systems that rely on electrical power. This ...

which can then be converted by the solar laser for use once again. But to make this scheme work, Yabe needed to find ways of improving the efficiency and output power of solar-pumped lasers ...

He and his colleagues described how such a system might work in a 2021 paper ... For example, a solar laser built on a space station could power that station or send power to a nearby satellite ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...
