摘要
A Nd:YAG slab is partially end pumped by a diode laser stack with three diode laser bars. The pumped and is off-axis unstable in the plane of large dimension of the gain cross section, was used to yield highly efficient laser operation at diffraction-limited beam quality. The laser design and experimental results are reported. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
