Abstract
We demonstrate a compact, efficient stable–unstable hybrid slab oscillator that was partially end pumped at . A maximum output power of at was obtained with an optical-to-optical efficiency from absorbed pump power to laser output of up to 60% and a slope efficiency of up to 66%. The beam propagation factors were 1.7 in the stable direction and 1.4 in the unstable direction without sidelobes.
