  • Abstract
    An efficient scalable 1.06-μm continuous-wave (CW) Nd:YAG slab laser longitudinally pumped by diode lasers is discussed. The 809-nm diode radiation is focused into every laser channel emerging from the reflection points of the 1.06-μm beam on the coated slab surfaces. A maximum CW TEM00 output power of 675 mW has been obtained at a diode pump power of 2 W resulting in a slope efficiency of 40%
