摘要：
We present theoretical investigations concerning the output power and mode size of a Tm:YVO4 microchip laser in which the crystal is uniformly cooled on the rear face and the cavity has the capability to store the pump light in order to increase pump intensity inside the amplifier medium. Good agreement with experimental results has been found. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
