Bulk Lasers
Lasers based on bulk crystals as Gain media.
The term bulk Laser refers to a solid-state laser with a bulk piece of doped crystal or Glass as the gain medium. It is used to distinguish such bulk lasers from Waveguide lasers and in particular from Fiber lasers. In most cases, the gain medium is doped either with rare-earth ions or transition metal ions, but bulk lasers also include color center lasers.
