Diode-pumped solid-state laser
Diode-pumped solid-state lasers (DPSSLs) are solid-state lasers made by pumping a solid gain medium, for example, a ruby or a neodymium-doped YAG crystal, with a laser diode.
DPSSLs have advantages in compactness and efficiency over other types, and high power DPSSLs have replaced ion lasers and flashlamp-pumped lasers in many scientific applications, and are now appearing commonly in green and other color laser pointers.
Coupling
The wavelength of laser diodes is tuned by means of temperature to produce an optimal compromise between the absorption coefficient in the crystal and energy efficiency (lowest possible pump photon energy). As waste energy is limited by the thermal lens this means higher power densities compared to high-intensity discharge lamps.
High power lasers use a single crystal, but many laser diodes are arranged in strips (multiple diodes next to each other in one substrate) or stacks (stacks of substrates). This diode grid can be imaged onto the crystal by means of a lens. Higher brightness (leading to better beam profile and longer diode lifetimes) is achieved by optically removing the dark areas between the diodes, which are needed for cooling and delivering the current. This is done in two steps:

Let Me Love You
by: Da BuzzTonight, I know in my heart
I want to be with you
Let me love you tonight
How can I make you want me?
How can I make it for real?
I wanna love you, forever
I hope that you feel the same
I'd give everything for you
To make you want to stay
I'll give everything I have
I love you more than I can say
Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
I know in my heart
I want to be with you
Oh, baby, let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
In a million years, I won't be over you
Let me love you tonight
I know you don't want to
Be without my love
And if you're gonna kiss me
You know that you'll have to stay
I'd give everything for you
To make you want to stay
I'll give everything I have
I love you more than I can say
Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
I know in my heart
I want to be with you
Oh, baby, let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
In a million years, I won't be over you
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight
In the light, I see your face
But only in my dreams
Let me be the one to hold your hand
And make you understand
Oh, let me love you
I want to make you feel alright
Yes, I know in my heart
I want to be with you
Oh baby, let me love you
Let me love you tonight
And I'll make you feel alright
