The design considerations of a high average power Nd: glass slab laser in which the slab moves between the pumping lamps to distribute the thermal loading over the area of the glass while maintaining high gain in the pumped volume are presented. Continuous wave operation and high repetition rate pulsed operation are projected at the 1 kW average power level.
