title = "Brief History of Solar-Pumped Lasers",
abstract = "In this chapter, a short overview of the main achievements of solar-pumped lasers is provided. The main progresses in solar-pumped lasers to date are based on solid-state active medium. Advances in multimode, TEM00-mode, doughnut-shaped mode and low-order mode solar-pumped solid-state lasers, as well as solar laser beam stability, are described. Previous efforts on solar-pumped gas lasers are also mentioned in this chapter. Potential applications of solar-pumped lasers in space and on Earth are finally discussed.",
