A compact high-power repetitively pulsed Nd :YAG laser with transverse diode pumping and a multiloop self-pumped phase-conjugate cavity is presented. The obtained pulse trains have an energy of 2.55 J with beam quality M{sup 2}⩽1.2, a divergence of 0.35 mrad, and a spatial brightness of 7×10{sup 14} W cm{sup −2} sr{sup −1}. The peak power of single-frequency pulses exceeds 21 MW at a pulse energy of 230 mJ. The laser bandwidth is 300 MHz. (lasers)
