摘要：

We present a simple design rule for diode-laser-pumped quasi-three-level lasers by using the M-2 factor, The validity of this model was demonstrated by diode-pumped Yb:YAG laser experiments, The maximum output power of 1.33 W and optical slope efficiency of 63% were obtained in a 400-mu m Yb:YAG-chip miniature laser, Using a 200-mu m Yb:YAG chip, a 70% optical slope efficiency was reached, In a coupled-cavity configuration, with a quartz birefringent tuning filter, 8.2 THz (29 nm) of tuning was obtained at room temperature, By changing to a calcite birefringent filter, single-axial-mode oscillation with an output power of 500 mW was observed.
