Diode end-pumped high-efficiency Nd:YAG laser

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:218072
A close-coupled scheme has been developed to end-pump the Nd:YAG rod using diode lasers tuned to 808 nm. By using a single diode laser, an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of about 40% has been demonstrated in the multimode operation at 1064 nm.
