摘要：
We report the first operation of a diode-side-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser in a bounce geometry at 1342 nm. Oscillator output power of 13.7 W in multimode is demonstrated with 38% slope efficiency and 10 W of single mode output with M-2<1.1. A master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) version of the bounce-geometry produces 20 W of output power. These results represent the highest power at 1342 nm from a Nd:YVO4 oscillator and oscillator-single-amplifier MOPA system. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
