SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR END PUMPED LASER MIRROR STACK ASSEMBLIES

Systems and methods for end pumped laser mirror stack assemblies are provided. In one embodiment, an end pump mirror stack assembly for a laser resonator comprises: a pump light injection layer applied to a transparent substrate, the pump light injection layer comprising at least one light generating optical emitter embedded within the pump light injection layer, wherein the pump light injection layer is configured to transmit a pump light having a first wavelength into the substrate; a multilayer thin-film mirror stack coupled to the transparent substrate; a lasing material layer coupled transparent substrate and positioned to receive the pump light, wherein the lasing material layer is doped with a dopant that generates a fluorescent light output at a second frequency when exposed to the pump light; and an antireflective coating applied to the substrate, the first anti-reflective coating configured to pass light of the first wavelength.
