摘要：

Formed with a flat-flat resonator, a diode-laser-array end-pumped CW Nd:GdVO4 laser at 1.06 mu m, capable of generating 5.6 W of TEM00 output power with optical conversion efficiency of 43% and slope efficiency of 48%, has been developed. The laser beam was nearly diffraction limited, with the beam quality factor measured to be M-2 = 1.22. Under the conditions of multimode operation, the laser was able to produce 11.2 W of low-order transverse mode radiation (M-2 < 2) at the incident pump power of 22 W, giving an optical conversion efficiency of 51%, and a slope efficiency of 55%.
