Abstract
We realized an efficient diode-pumped continuous-wave (CW) laser operating at . Laser experiments with Nd-doped crystals of various lengths and cutting directions were also investigated. The maximum output power of was obtained with a slope efficiency of 27.2% and an optical conversion efficiency of 20.8% at the absorbed pump power of . The laser experiment shows that crystal can be used for an efficient diode-pumped laser system.
