Abstract
We report on a compact, efficient, and reliable monolithic slab oscillator–amplifier with an output power of in cw operation and an optical-to-optical efficiency of 24%. In electro-optically Q-switched operation, of average power at a repetition rate of with a pulse width of was measured. The RMS stability of the pulse energy is better than 1.7%. The beam quality in both cw and pulse models was under 1.3.
