摘要：
We describe a novel side-pumping configuration of the virtual-point-source diode-array-pumped Nd:YAG laser with 32 cw 10-W laser diodes. A new concept of the virtual point source and an image-relay system are proposed for the generation of a Gaussian-like pumping profile with an optically thin gain medium. A cw linearly polarized TEM(00)-mode, 26.5-W output was obtained at a diode pump power of 171 W. The M(2) values at the x and y axes were measured to be M(x)(2) = 1.03 and M(y)(2) = 1.20, respectively. (C) 1995 Optical Society of America
