摘要：

We present experimental results on a Tm:YVO4 microchip laser pumped by a Ti:Sa laser. These results are compared with a theoretical model which is based on the thermal guiding of the emitted laser made and a rate equation model which includes the pump beam parameters. The efficiency of the laser does not depend on the pump beam waist if its location is adapted. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
