Over 250 mW of CW laser emission at 1084 nm is obtained from Nd:LiNbO{sub 3} when the rod is end-pumped along the crystalline {open quote}{ital y}{close quote} axis by 1 W from a Kr{sup +} laser at 752 nm. The laser can be tuned over 3 nm at the 1084 nm peak with a thin, uncoated etalon in the cavity. Thresholds of 30 mW of absorbed pump power were obtained with a weak output coupler, rising to 220 mW with a 35% transmitting output mirror. No pump-induced photorefractive effects were observed.
