Abstract :
Summary form only given. We demonstrated a Yb:glass laser directly side-pumped by two 20-W diode bars with negligible thermal effects. The experimental setup has two cw 20-W, l-cm InGaAs laser-diode bars from Thomson-CSF, France, which were combined together by using a polarizer and a halfwave plate.
