62-W cw TEM{sub 00} Nd:YAG laser side-pumped by fiber-coupled diode lasers
- Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V., Hollerithallee 8, D-30419 Hannover (Germany)
We describe the laser performance and thermal properties of side-pumped Nd:YAG rod lasers that use fiber-coupled diode lasers as pump sources. Utilizing a nearly homogeneous pump light profile, we realize an output power of more than 60 W in TEM{sub 00} mode operation with optical-to-optical efficiencies of more than 25{percent}. In multimode operation, optical slope efficiencies of more than 46{percent} are observed. {copyright} {ital 1996 Optical Society of America.}
