A diode-pumped Q-switched ceramic Nd:YAG laser operating at 946 nm has been demonstrated in our experiment for the first time. When using a fiber-coupled laser diode with a fiber diameter of 600 ΞΌm as the pump source, an average output power of 2.64 W at a repetition rate of 50 kHz was obtained when

β¦ Synopsis
The third near infrared stimulated-emission spectral range of Nd:YAG ceramics at room temperature has been demonstrated. For the 4 F 3/2 β 4 I 9/2 transition emitting at 946 nm 1.35 W laser output have been achieved under 808 nm laser diode pumping at more than 20% efficiency similar as for crystalline material.

Quasi three-level laser operation of Nd:YAG at 946 nm is reported. Applying an end-pumped configuration pulse energies of more than 2 mJ @ 14 ns at a repetition rate of 10 Hz have been achieved. This output performance corresponds, according to the authors' knowledge, to the highest reported values
Ceramic Nd:YAG (cNd:YAG) materials are employed to generate 1123-nm laser. A fiber-coupled continuous-wave (CW) 808-nm diode laser is used as the pumping source. With an incident diode power of 26.1 W, a CW output power of up to 10.8 W is obtained with a 10-mm-long ceramic Nd:YAG rod (1.0 at.%-Nd-do
We present for the first time a Nd:YAG laser emitting at 1064 nm intracavity pumped by a 946 nm diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser. A 809 nm laser diode is used to pump the first Nd:YAG crystal emitting at 946 nm, and the second Nd:YAG laser emitting at 1064 nm intracavity pumped at 946 nm. Intracavity sum-f
Q-switched microchip laser emitting radiation at wavelength 1338 nm was designed and constructed. This laser was based on a monolith crystal which combines in one piece a cooling undoped part (undoped YAG crystal), an active laser part (Nd^3+^:YAG), and a saturable absorber (V^3+^:YAG, __T__ ~0~=85%
A corner-pumped type is a new pumping type in the diode-pumped solid-state lasers, which has the advantages of high pump efficiency and favorable pump uniformity. A corner-pumped Nd:YAG/YAG composite slab continuous-wave 1319 nm/1338 nm dual-wavelength laser is first demonstrated in this paper. When
