摘要
We present experimental investigation on quasi-three-level Nd:YVO4 laser operation at 914 nm under 879 nm diode pumping directly into emitting level. A maximal output power of 3.0 W under an absorbed pump power of 13.4 W was got, corresponding to an optical conversion efficiency of 22.4% and a slope efficiency of 40.3%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a Nd:YVO4 laser at 914 nm using rod-type single crystal as the gain medium and end pumped by diode directly into the emitting level.
