HIGH-POWER Nd:Y3Al5O12 CERAMIC LASER

High power CW (continuous wave) polycrystalline Nd:Y3Al5O12 (Nd:YAG) ceramic rod laser was demonstrated for the first time. The maximum output power of 31 W with a 18.8% slope efficiency was obtained at 1064 nm using 214.5 W/808 nm laser diode pumping. 11 refs.
