✦ Synopsis
The continuous-wave (CW) laser properties of an efficient diode-pumped Nd:YAP crystal operating at 1.43 μm formed with a simple plane-concave cavity have been studied. With the incident pump power of 17.8 W, an output power of 2.2 W was obtained, giving an optical conversion efficiency of 12.4% and a slope efficiency of 14.7%. The beam quality factor M 2 was less than 1.2. The power stability was less 2.4% in 60 minutes. Output power at 1.43 μm, W 0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 20 0 5 10 15
Incident pump power, W T = 4.6% T = 6.7% T = 8.3% T = 2.5%
