摘要
Thermal lensing effect in a Nd:GdVO4 laser system operating at 1063 nm with in-band pumping at 912 nm was studied. The thermal lensing strength was experimentally measured and the determined focal power was as strong as 9 m(-1) at 11.3 W of output power. The sensitivity factor of the thermal lens was calculated to be as small as M = 0.503 m(-1)/W for the pump spot size radius of similar to 197 mu m. The present work indicates that in-band pumping at 912 nm can offer further power scaling opportunities for the Nd:GdVO4 lasers due to the strongly reduced thermal lensing effect.
