Zusammenfassung:In accordance with the invention, a waveguide laser or amplifier having a peak absorption wavelength is provided with pump emitters having wavelengths deliberately offset from the peak absorption wavelength. The offset wavelengths of the emitters are chosen to enhance the thermal stability of the laser or amplifier. In one exemplary embodiment, the laser or amplifier is pumped by a bimodal distribution of emitters.
