Abstract
A Nd:YAG laser was end pumped with 2.2 W of continuous-wave (CW) diode laser output. Efficient operation of the laser at high repetition rates was emphasized. This laser provides 890 mW of TEM00 CW output at 1064 nm, and 340 mW of 532 nm average power at a Q -switched repetition rate of 25 kHz. Experimental data are compared with analysis
