Abstract

In recent years, MECSELs did undergo rapid progress. The developments in the field will be summarized and discussed, and a complete overview on the state of the art will be given. The most important progress, like the radical design simplification, double-side pumping and power scaling capabilities play a major role. Also, the main aspects of the design of active region membranes will be reviewed with respect to flexible pumping possibilities enabled by the absence of a DBR and the substrate.
