摘要
Direct pumping from thermally excited ground levels directly to the upper lasing level of Nd:YAG was demonstrated using high-power, 885 nm, CW diodes. 14 W output power with 0.63 slope efficiency and 0.53 light-to-light efficiency were obtained. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
