Abstract
The bounce amplifier geometry facilitates high power, high efficiency laser operation with high beam quality [1]. We have previously shown high power, high efficiency laser operation in 2at.% doped Nd:YAG in this geometry at 1064mn [2], In this paper we report for the first time high power laser operation in Czochralski grown 2at.% doped crystalline Nd:YAG at 1.3μm by use of the bounce amplifier geometry.
