摘要：
Gadolinium scandium gallium garnet (GSGG) was studied as a high average power laser host material utilizing diode array side pumping. Maximum optical slope efficiencies of 41.5% for Nd:GSGG in the rod geometry and 32.5% for a Nd:Cr:GSGG zig-zag slab were obtained at 1.06 μm. Nd:GSGG and Nd:YAG have similar fluorescence lifetimes while Nd:GSGG has better energy storage capabilities due to its smaller stimulated-emission cross section.
