摘要
A comparison is made between the laser performance of several diode-pumped Nd3+: laser systems by using strictly identical experimental conditions. The variations of the laser efficiencies with diode wavelength and with the output mirror transmission are reported and analyzed in detail. Very different behaviors are found depending on the multisite character of the laser host and on the inhomogeneous width of the fluorescence lines. The results are interpreted within the frame of a theoretical model recently applied to the case of a diode-pumped Nd3+: phosphate glass laser.
