A green laser with output power 15 W at 515 nm is introduced, which was based on an extra-cavity frequency doubling of a corner-pumping Yb:YAG slab laser, with pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz and pulse duration of ∼150 ns, using an acousto-optic Q-switcher. An LBO crystal was used as nonlinear cryst
A novel pump scheme-chamfered-edge-pumping was employed for pumping a planar waveguide laser: A 12 mm-long edge was chamfered as a 0.2 mm wide bevel, pump light from the fast-axis-collimated LD was focused and coupled into the crystal through the chamfered-edge with a pump efficiency of 82%. The sin
