We have designed, built and operated an LNA laser, end pumped by a high power diode laser array, for the purpose of exciting the He resonance transition 2{sup 3}S {r arrow} 2{sup 2}P near {lambda}=1.083 {mu}m. LNA is a host lattice for Nd{sup +3} (La{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Nd{sub {ital x}}MgAl{sub 11}O{sub 19}) chosen because it can be tuned to the transition of interest in helium because it splits and shifts the laser frequency relative to Nd:YAG at {lambda}=1.064 {mu}m.
