摘要：
The paper presents results of investigations on generation of Nd:YAG triangle slab laser pumped by 2D diode away. The pump beam shape quality with respect to pump/mode overlap efficiency was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Two cavity schemes with and without pump forming optics were verified in free running and passively Q-switching modes. Slope efficiency of 45% and output energy of 24 mJ for incident 60 mJ of pump energy were achieved in free running mode. Applying Cr4+:YAG crystal as passive Q-switch, the output energy of 5 mJ and 0.5 MW peak power were obtained in the optimised resonator.
