This paper reports on the characterization of a diode-side-pumped CW Nd:YAG laser. A side-pumped conΓΏguration with 9 laser diodes is used for the laser. Pump light is directly coupled into the Nd:YAG rod without focusing lenses and the pump light distribution in the Nd:YAG rod was calculated. A maxi
We report the generation of high-power, quasi-continuous wave red-light up to 11.5 W in a 4-cm LiB 3 O 5 crystal with intracavity frequency-doubling of two compact and simple side-pumped Nd:YAG laser modules under a repetition rate of 3.5 kHz. The beam quality of M 2 value is 15 Β± 3 in both directio
